The question is: why c++ makes you felt this? For me c++ makes solving complex problems simple and c++ reduce the number of code lines (compared to c). But c++ isn't perfect as we know. Every new programming language must help solving problems and writing code simpler, IMO. This is what i felt the first time i wrote a D program. Currently D lose its magic, for me. Things like const/invariant and <"staic".dup> (copy on write) confusing me. This makes writing code not simpler. Some discussion in this NG are very academically. The main point should be "how to solve problems simple and short", IMHO. How you think about this?
