If you are coming back to C++ after a stint with Java, I would highly recommend D. I think it hits the sweetspot between C++ and Java. The not so nice thing about D is that its libraries are not as pervasive and mature. The Phobos and Tango split is currently being addressed. I think all of Tango's functionality will be incorporated into Phobos. With D you get a simpler C++ with optional automatic memory management, and some functional idioms and nice support for parallelism.

@down-voter: If you could explain what you found down-vote worthy that would be nice.

D looks interesting, but I'm a little concerned that the libraries may not be robust or comprehensive enough yet. It's an uphill battle for any new language.

(downvoters are indeed a mystery sometimes)
