Well, it's pretty easy to lump in C++ with D given that out of all of the
successors to C++, D is the most similar to it. And while D is definitely
simpler than C++, it's still a complicated language. So, I could easily see
someone dismissing D as having C++'s problems if they didn't spend much time
with it. But I have no idea what the case is with these folks. I'd never
heard of Loci before you brought it up here.
