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.
