I was writing some code today and ran into this oddity that I'd never come across before:

    import std.algorithm : sort;
    int[10] arr = [0, 3, 4, 6, 2, 1, 1, 4, 6, 9];
    thing.sort();

This doesn't compile. Obviously the .sort property works, but what about static arrays makes them unable to be sorted by std.algorithm.sort? Thanks.

Static arrays in D are value types. Try:

     thing[].sort();

This will pass a slice of the array to sort, holding a reference to the static array's data.
