  Like D (and a bunch of others), also probably doomed to failure.

  Many people have attempted in making a "better" C/C++, and many have
failed. Some attempts have good ideas, but they just don't get popular,
no matter how much they are advertised. Basically nobody knows what D is.
Another good example is Objective C, which has a rather small market
(which is growing a bit due to the iPhone, though).

  Not all attempts have failed though. Java and C# are examples of
successful ones. (Although in their cases the changes from C/C++ have
been a bit more radical.)
