The problem in C++ is that older frameworks have their own ways 
of doing things for performance reasons or because the C++ 
standard they started with didn't provide what they needed...

And... most C++ frameworks that are big are old... If you avoid 
big frameworks then it gets better.

Yes. Most programmers don't need system level programming. So if 
D defines itself to not be a system level programming language 
then there would be room to improve a lot, but then it should 
move towards more high level features and prevent the usage of 
some low level features like untagged non-discriminating unions 
of pointers. Rust is more high level than D... I think.
