Neither C++ or D have any significant original features.

This isn't right though. Modern C++ has added some semantic 
additions and adjustments to enable new patterns (or stricter 
typing).

Not sure what you mean. Features are proposed decades before they 
get standardized and gets implemented as experimental features as 
well, often years before. In general a standardization process 
expects multiple independent implementations to exist before 
acceptance...

Not really, there are multiple non standard features in all the 
C++ compilers and people use them. Each of those compilers are 
more widespread than D, so if you want a fair conparison you'd 
have to compare the dialects and not an ISO standard (which 
always will be a shared subset of the implementations)
