My experience with Wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt ) was quite nice.

Mind that its more than a simple template system and brings quite a few 
advanced idioms to the table like signal/slots, components, adaptive 
degradation for rendering ( uses Ajax and server push were available ).


They also have a nice set of ports for Java and Ruby, maybe D would fit 
nicely among them.
