For about a year I've had the feeling that D is moving too

Every programmer who says this also demands new (and breaking)
features.
Some problems require new features like how taking the address of
a member function without an object returns a function pointer,
but requires a delegate where C++ has member function pointers, D
just has broken unusable code. Or old features that were
implemented poorly (C++ mangling for example).
