C++11 was a big step forward for C++ that closed the gap with D. At the 
time, it felt to me like they copied everything from D but now I know 
that programming language ideas are everywhere and it's hard to pinpoint 
who borrowed what from whom.

Regarding the name, I propose "1F44D  THUMBS UP SIGN" but it's not in 
common fonts yet. :o)

import std.stdio;

void main() {
     // Repeat the character according to excitement level
     writeln("D\U0001f44d");
}
