Huh? Sorry I don't believe that Java can contend as a serious language

that involves talking to the silicon.
Java instead of C++ for apps.
C instead of C++ for low-level.
Voila! No more need for C++.
D will always remain niche.
It's just too late to the party.
It might be too late to the party, but I think that it is a much better
fit as a replacement for C++ than Java being a replacement for C++.
Probably true, but besides the point.
Most people haven't even heard of D.
