I've been skimming through the docs and found one mention of D:

http://loci-lang.org/Exceptions.html#scope-exit-block

It seems to me that Loci is not a very "inspired" language 
meaning that it doesn't take inspiration from many other 
languages. The docs only ever refer to some classic mainstream 
languages including C++, Obj-C, Java, C#, with a hint of D. There 
are a few nice aspects such as modules, algebraic types, tuples, 
and concepts. But then I feel like it takes too much from C++ and 
mimics Java-esque OOP and concepts. I'm not saying these are bad 
things but there isn't much that makes Loci stand out as a 
programming language.

I'll add this to my list of PL bookmarks. It's a new language 
with it's first stable build released just two years ago so maybe 
the best is yet to come.
