C, C++ and Rust are the only ones that stuck, but programming languages graveyard is full of C++ killers. Rust is around because it offered something new.

Literally just D? I'm not really aware of other serious efforts to modernise C/C++. Other than Rust, the world became completely fixated on GC languages that were inherently meant for higher-level purposes. Full-fledged attempts at memory unsafe languages in this century have been few and far between.
