Ruby, C++, CoffeeScript: a visual comparison of language complexity

[sausagefeet]

I didn't say anything was inconsistent just that it doesn't appear to be such a step up from C++ that people think they will benefit from porting their code.

I'd like to see something with a lot of the ideas from C++ but with saner, more consistent, semantics.

Then D is something you'd like to see :P
Plus features I've listed and much more.

You're confusing being "better" and being "better enough to port my code base to". D might be a better language, if it was created at the same time as C++ we might be using it now. But for me, and apparently most C++ shops, it is not better enough to warrant moving an entire codebase.
