Which features are you most concerned about? I think the
feature set is quite similar. D is less verbose and is easier
to use for high level programming, but the clang++ and g++ have
fewer bugs and quirks than the D compilers. The biggest
difference is that C++ cannot change much, but D can! D really
ought to make more of that advantage... More streamlining even
if it breaks stuff.
I was a bit unclear. I meant features as in built in language
constructs etc, not necessarily like keywords and so on.
Hmm, regarding features I'd like in C++, maybe better
metaprogramming and fewer keywords? Haven't thought about that
