I have loved C++ when I first started learning it a pair of

a better language from the design point of view, especially in
supporting OO design and modularisation, maybe I am just wrong
since I know just a little of D so far, but I really had some
problems just in setting up a simple OO project, i.e. importing
classes, there are .h and .cpp files, etc, which only make
everything confusing and make you learn stupid things instead
of being productive. D also seems to have a cleaner syntax in
general. C++ is becoming more and more a mess because they keep
introducing new functionalities to make C++ compete with new
languages, and I'm starting hating it. Languages should not
just be powerful but simple enough to be productive.
