Looking at C++14 and the proposed features for C++17 -

It looks a lot like C++ is trying to become similar to D.
I believe that shows D's design pattern has been superior to
C++'s from the start and there's no way C++ will ever be able
to implement the same features of D in the same smooth and
"user-friendly" behavior.
What's your opinion?
A much more common take on it is "why use D at all now that C++
is getting similar features", ignoring convenience.
(I don't subscribe to it.)
Just that awesome new features are planned, doesn't mean they get
implemented. On of mine, and i think also of many other cpp
programmsters, highly anticipated features are C++ Modules. We
are waiting years already to get to a usable solution ... yet
nothing has integrated into the cpp standard :3
D on the other hand has all those awesome features, and D has
them now. Sometimes it's a little rough on the edges, but in
general it's really great *.* I hope D will start to grow faster.
And seeing it currently at Tiobe index rank 20 makes me hope that
it will be way more widespread in future.
<3 D ftw xD
