I haven't written a lot of Swift code, but I am not enthusiastic 
about some of the stuff Apple have let it inherit from 
Objective-C.

D also has baggage (e.g. @keywords) , so if by "fixing" you mean 
streamlining then I would be hopeful. If there is no streamlining 
involved then I would expect other languages willing to 
streamline and clean up to trend.

I don't really think "it is just historical baggage" and "not 
willing to break" will work out well in the long run, for any 
language. This applies to any language that has not reached 
critical mass, not only D.
