C++ was created around 1985, that is 28 years as of today.

I remember going through the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual) around
1995 and not finding a C++ compiler that was able to compile all examples.

Following "The C Users Journal", shortly thereafter renamed "The C/C++ 
Users Journal" and "C++ Report" and seeing the language change each 
month, with each C++ compiler offering a different view what the 
language meant.

C++ will be with us for many years to come, but you should not forget 
that it has a few years in the industry already, and as I mentioned in a 
separate post, systems programming languages require support from OS 
vendors.

As a supporter for stronger typed languages I look forward not only D, 
but Rust and Go as well, even with its issues, to gain wider support, 
but it takes time.
