Whether forwards or backwards, someone should first write a 
paper/article/whatever, exploring 'the darker side of D'.

We need a 'Markku Sakkinen' like paper (he wrote one back in the 
early 90s called "The darker side of C++ revisited".

I expect some people over at Micrsoft had a good read of that 
paper before setting off to create C#.

My guess is, his view has still not changed:

"..taking the weakly typed and weakly structured language C as a 
base has become an irremediable handicap."
