They may yet make it into C++ in some form or another, but the lack of ranges in C++ is one of the things that I find really frustrating when I doing stuff for work. In particular, it's incredibly quick and easy to write parsing code for stuff in D with Phobos, whereas it takes a lot more time and effort to write it in C++. But just in general, I find that putting stuff together in D is faster than using C++. C++ is very powerful, but it's also quite clunky. - Jonathan M Davis
