FWIW, Simula had "new". C++ is B.S.' attempt to marry C with
Simula. It's not "designed", but more like "translated", then
mutilated a posteriori… Hence the hodgepodge syntax (and
semantics).
Bjarne's book about C++ design and evolution is quite good to
understand how C's compatibility and other issues drove C++
design.
