It is rather obvious that D2 leans heavily on pre-C++11... Not sure what
C++11 would have borrowed from D though.
Browsing here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11
- constexpr (a poor man's CTFE)
- Type inference
- Range-based for
- Lambdas
- Ability to call constructors from constructors
- (Not sure about D timeline here) Explicit overrides and final
- Null pointer constant
- Strongly typed enumerations
- Explicit conversion operators
- Template aliases
- Variadic templates
- ...
At this point it feels like copying almost the entire list so I stop. :)
