Felix does (and has been around for roughly as long as D).  It was
explicitly designed around C++ interoperability, and offers all
sorts of goodies including extensible syntax, GC, functional
capabilities and more.  But so far Felix has fewer than 100 users, and
probably fewer than 50.  D must be doing something right.
