I guess you could say that the latest version of C++ allows you 
to write code that is a little bit less verbose than before. C++ 
itself won't really change drastically because of backwards 
compatibility. In my opinion it is not a suitable language for 
hobbyists, as you need to spend a lot of time with it (measured 
in years) to become proficient... and basically, if you don't use 
C++ on a regular basis, there are details that are easy to 
forget. D has some of those issues too, but D can be used more 
like a high level language.
