Without discussing what "successful" is supposed to mean in the realm of 
natural languages, I think the syntax of English is shrinking rather than 
growing. Plus, today's lingua franca is a tiny subset of English with a 
type discipline comparable to that of K&R C.

Apart from that, I agree with you that D's syntax is a lot easier to 
understand than that of C++.
