Hi,
Is there a straight forward Array type in D similar to C++'s
vector class? Something along the lines of the tuple: (pointer
to elements, length, capacity).

Std::vector uses value semantics. D does not have anything like
that. It could be done someone just has to do it.

Yes, and therein lies the problem: writing a dynamic array is not
a very difficult task for an old developer like me. I looked at
the D runtime and at the Phobos implementation for reference. The
code is so extremely difficult to understand and uses so many
advanced D features, that I doubt that I am up to the task. For
me, the point of switching to D was to use a language that is
simpler to read and maintain.
