That's true.

I'm less sure about that. I think it presents an opportunity for us. Driving the 
C++ resurgence is:

1. demand for high performance computing

2. turning back towards native languages

3. recognition of the value of functional-style programming techniques

4. recognition of the value of safety, encapsulation, etc.

But regarding the latter two points, I don't buy that the new C++ delivers. The 
classic is a oneliner Andrei wrote:

     void fun() noexcept { throw "so sue me"; }

noexcept means the function doesn't throw any exceptions. But it doesn't check! 
The above code compiles, and then fails at runtime. The opportunity for D is to 
deliver what C++ has promised.
