All his arguments about C++ exceptions hold for plain return

Yes but he would said that is not the point of his article. I

his point is that if you decide not to use exception in C++,
for the
reason he and others have mentioned, then C++'s classes/structs
become
nothing more than C structs with an uglier/more verbose syntax.
I am wondering if you can extend his argument to D.
Implementing RIIA
becomes more verbose. The scope keyword is useless. Thoughts?

He is completely wrong.
C++ is a multiparadigm language, you can do much more than just
plain OO. It is a safer language than C, while offering higher
level abstractions to several programming paradigms. D as a
better C++ follows these principles as well.
To this day I still don't understand why some developers prefer
the pain of C to safer and more productive languages for systems
programming.
