D always looked nice conceptually. But the syntax!
Most likely I would use it actively if it wouldn't look like C.
The type annotations are "on the wrong side". Type inference is barely-there (`auto` is a joke). It's littered with superfluous braces and semicolons.
I would really love it if they would change the syntax, and the result would look more like the new syntax in Scala 3.
