I've been seeing those wish lists for 25 years now. The trouble is,
everyone has a very different list!
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.
