No need to pretend, take a look at D as better C? [1]

Yes. That’s a great post, but betterC is not directly backward compatible with C. D also lacks many of the features that I’ve grown to like about Rust.

But, let’s say you’re right. D is SaferC—are the folks who are still waiting for a SaferC able to recognize it as such? Or, have they already decided that like Rust it doesn’t meet the criteria of the language that they’re waiting for?
