You could as well say that now that gcc can compile C++, it can drop support for C (and no, C is not a subset of C++ anymore).

Go aims for a very small and clean set of features that work well together and produce code that is easy to write and read, D seems to aim to include every C++ feature and a few more.

Not every C++ feature at all. It does aim to include support for modern paradigms, whether or not C++ supports them.
