Or they are going to really curse you for yet another initially promising language- turned into a complex language with many unexpected corner case behaviors :P. I like what I have seen so far in D. Its really a pleasure to use for small home projects. I see many people pointing out the rough edges in D 2.0 (comparisions, auto etc) and I am worried that these may not be addressed properly in order to release D 2.0. I've also seen things like "yeah D doesn't have it but neither does C++".

All languages change and develop and the simplification and standardisation will come from its use in practice and not the other way round .

Your children might learn  "E"  or " F"  or "X"  and they will contain as a standard starting point the better parts of the languages before them (decided by the programmers that used them at the time)
