C++ is still trying to catch up with:
- compile time function execution
- modules
- no preprocessor
- memory safe arrays
- preprocessor replacement
- ranges
and so on.

C++ modules are indeed a mess, but you are fooling yourself if you believe that the preprocessor of all things is a compelling reason to switch. In fact, I think you unwittingly proved my point on how interest in D fizzed out the moment C++11 was released.
