Yeah, but none of those languages are languages targeted as substitutes 
of C++. D is. And yet the compiler software is not made in D, nor does 
the language designer use it (extensively at least).
So, that's something that could be improved, and not just for publicity 
reasons (having Walter program more in D would be a bit beneficial I 
think, although I wouldn't expect any major enlightenment out of it).

But I do agree that there are other more urgent/important things to work 
on first.
