At going native this year, you mentioned that C++ is closely tied in with the von neumann architecture architecture. Is this true of D as well? Does it mean that if the von neumann architecture were to be replaced by something shinier, C++ (and D) might vanish into oblivion?

Also, do you think functional languages are better in that sense that their abstractions are not tightly dependent on the von neumann architecture?

Notwithstanding, I'd like to hear what you have to say about functional languages and what you believe is their role in the coming years.
