I think the name is just misleading, the D developers should at least be honest with themselves. |

D++ - Because no language has version numbers. Not even C#. Any proof to the contrary is clearly fake proof.

I am not sure what this has anything to do with version numbers? My point is that D is much more like C++ than it is like C, I think D should be honest and reflect that in its name. That's all I'm saying.

So should Java be renamed to Java++? Or maybe D should be D-Java++?

According to Wikipedia, D was influenced by:
C, C++, C#, Eiffel, Java, Python (English version)
C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Ruby (Spanish and German version)
I suggest to call it "DythonubyavaC#++" henceforth.

So that you understand, let's say "C" means "horse", "C++" means "cyborg wheeled horse", and "D" means "car" https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8193/8148618536_2128988e76.jpg |

You dont have to get all salty about it, just admit that D is more like C++ and then we can propose the name change officially on github. Maybe this would help with adoption too, Rust has no problem calling itself a successor to C++ rather than C, so D shouldnt be afraid of this legacy either.

C+1 == D
C++
C == D

Why, then, is Rust called "Rust"? "C++" was chosen to signal that it's an improvement of C. "D++" would mean an improvement of D. If D is improved C++, then we would have to call it "C++++".
This thread is absurd and leads nowhere.
