I don't see any way writing C++ could become a much better 
experience than what it is now (ie. an expensive pass-time).

Reading about C++14/C++17 is a yawn-inducing exercise for most 
since this won't enhance our lives in the next decade. The 
_existing codebases_ are what defines C++ the language not what 
they could/should be. C++ also discourages refactoring by being 
so inflexible.

For example, when C++ finally has modules, they will still 
coexist with regular headers, and most libraries will use the 
old, compatible style for long. It will be really more 
complicated than in D.
