The D language has entered the chat. The emperor has new clothes now, all is well. ;-) Yeah. Too often people complain they want a replacement, but then they want it to be a feature-complete super-set of what they didn't like too... trying to have it both ways and being oblivious to their internal inconsistency. Objective C++ is the only mainstream, feature-complete superset of C++ that I know of. (I'm sure there are others.) Gluing two languages together is a feat, but does it solve anything? I think FFI C interfaces are the most universal heterogenous interoperability approach, rather than trying to figure out how to mangle names or pass objects that can have funky vtables.
