I wasn't aware of the language Loci:

It looks like a mix of C++/D and some other languages. The docs
gives D credit several places too.
I think perhaps loci is too close to C++ to gain traction, but
who knows? It looks like a fairly clean language from the docs
alone, but I haven't actually tried it.
The most striking difference from D and C++ seems to be that
templates generates polymorphic code that works for all types.
IIRC it is called "parametric polymorphism" whereas the C++-way
would be "ad-hoc polymorphism".
This has a runtime cost and is usually done by FP languages like
Ocaml/Haskell.
