The static array has length 2, so index 2 is out of bounds, must be 0 or 1.

I understand that the index 2 is out of bounds in an array of 2 things. I'm confused about the notation for multidimensional arrays. I thought that the notation uint[m][n] is read from right to left, so it denotes n arrays of m things in each array. So I expected that static_array[k][j] would denotes the kth element of the jth array.

I think the way it actually works is very intuitive, it goes from inner to outer. If it went the other way around, you couldn't do this:

```d
void main() {
    import std.stdio;
    alias point = int[2];
    point[3] points = [[0, 0], [1, 2], [3, 4]];
    writeln(points);
}
```
