Also, I had to add a dummy private constructor to make my structs
'createable', or is there another way?

e.g.

struct Texture
{
     @disable this();
     static Texture create()
     {
     return Texture(0);
     }

...

private:
     this(int)
     {
         glGenTextures(1, &textureId_);
         enforce(0 != textureId_);
     }

     GLuint textureId_;
}

You can use Texture.init to initialize a variable:
----
struct Texture
{
    @disable this();
    static Texture create()
    {
        Texture t = Texture.init;
        glGenTextures(1, &t.textureId_);
        enforce(0 != t.textureId_);
        return t;
    }
private:
    GLuint textureId_;
}
