There is no other language that will teach u e.g. templates. And the language is still in heavy use. What is there to lose here?

  D has templates

  Many popular languages have templates (generics): Java, for instance.

    I wouldn't compare it like that. Templates are more like meta-programming. Templates can achieve what you can do with Java generics, but they can also do a lot more.

      I wouldn't learn C++ for the templates. Except you want to learn stuff by getting your hands dirty. The same would be to learn C for trying out pointer arithmetic and shooting into your own foots ;-)
