What draws you to D, if not the syntax?  If you're looking for a 
fast, Python-like language, and you don't mind dependence on the 
CPython runtime, I'd suggest looking into Cython 
(http://cython.org/).

If you're interested in modern language features and expressive 
metaprogramming with a Python-like syntax, I'd recommend Julia 
(http://julialang.org/).

You might also be interested in Dylan (https://opendylan.org/), 
though I don't know much about it.
