Programming Language to Replace C++

I think we can all agree that C++ is a terrible language. So why is it still around?

When talking to most C++ users (game developers, systems programmers), I've found that most seem to recognize C++'s faults, but they don't really care. They aren't even the slightest bit interested in a new language that might solve its problems, even one that gives them all the power of C++ with none of the downsides. You can't even get them to look at something new.

Why is that? Why does everyone just 'live with it' without wanting to improve the situation?

Except Java is designed to be code for a virtual machine and C# is a full fledged language that happens to be written primarily for a virtual machine.

Java doesn't even have close to the scope of the .Net libraries. Cocoa and other Apple API's like the iFag library is shit eatingly stupid for and OO library because it relies on functional methods.

And C++ is fucking garbage.
