True. Other languages try to iron out perceived flaws. I am quite 
impressed by how C++ has managed to move, even though it is stuck 
with its flaws because of the huge installed base (many users). D 
does not a large installed base so it can move and remove those 
"perceived bugs". C++ is stuck with the "perceived bugs" and that 
is what people dislike the most about C++. Any language that 
wants to take on C++ has to streamline and make the language easy 
to master. That and a lack of a clear vision on memory 
management/memory model is D's biggest challenges. Those two 
aspects are float or sink dimensions, IMHO.
