We've still made many mistakes. But C++ is a lot more trapped by the past than D is - such as the random size of 'int', the macro preprocessor, syntax, useless const, non-Unicode character sets, declaration ordering, friend declarations, Koenig lookup, etc. At least C++ finally let go of trigraphs, ugh.
I'm still amazed by how even modern C++ code bases embed the trickiest, most bizarre uses of the preprocessor and then build their entire code structure around it.
