Funny thing is that if we ignore the syntax issues, Turbo Pascal, 
Modula-2 and Ada had most of those features back in the 80's.

What made me eventually move into C++ and only use C level features when 
required, was the language ability to follow the Pascal family strong 
typing when one does proper use of high level abstractions the language 
offers.

However C++'s lack of feature scope like D's safe/system/trusted, means
without tools is not possible to guarantee a safe code base given the 
language complexity.
