For me, what it would be really nice to have in C from C++ would 
be templates.
And from D, that scope().

The problem with starting designing (and implementing) frameworks 
instead of languages is that you have to keep up with everything 
and to never cease expanding. New needs will appear, new 
paradigms (platforms, distributed systems and so on) and you will 
have to play the game.

It is OK to provide extensive standard library, but not put too 
much into the language (and, for me, the druntime shall be seen 
as part of the language, not of the framework).

But, still. Even Java and C# have a separation between the 
language and the framework, more than, for example, Go has.
