Funny, so called "modern C++" (C++17 and beyond) is one of the 
reasons why I got interested in D. In my opinion "modern C++" is 
absolutely awful.

The success of Java can be linked to its similarities in syntax 
with C and C++ so inheriting the C/C++ doesn't have to be a 
disadvantage. D did not become as successful as Java, for a few 
reasons but it feels OT in this thread.
