D certainly does not have such a philosophy. :)

D does not try to limit the programmer but there aren't many ways of
reading a line. Note that the difference in the above case is what the
programmer is doing with the results. For example, copying the splitted
lines into a pre-existing array should not count as a different way.
Plus, wrapping steps of the same sollution in a function should not
count as a different way. Otherwise, we can have infinite number of ways
of doing the same things. For example, not!empty is the equivalent of
the following function:
auto notEmpty_0(T)(T a) {
return !a.empty;
}
Change 0 above to 1, 2, ... :)
