C++11 was a big step forward for C++ that closed the gap with D. At the time, it felt to me like they copied everything from D but now I know that programming language ideas are everywhere and it's hard to pinpoint who borrowed what from whom.
Regarding the name, I propose "1F44D THUMBS UP SIGN" but it's not in common fonts yet. :o)
import std.stdio; void main() { // Repeat the character according to excitement level writeln("D\U0001f44d"); } Ali
