You keep printing out the entire array on every iteration of the loop, so of
course, you're going to see stuff output multiple times. If you did
something like

    import std.stdio;

    void main()
    {
        int[] arr;
        foreach(i; 0 .. 5)
        {
            arr ~= i * 10;
            writeln(arr);
        }
    }

then you'd get the output

[0]
[0, 10]
[0, 10, 20]
[0, 10, 20, 30]
[0, 10, 20, 30, 40]

whereas if you did

    import std.stdio;

    void main()
    {
        int[] arr;
        foreach(i; 0 .. 5)
            arr ~= i * 10;
        writeln(arr);
    }

then you'd just get

[0, 10, 20, 30, 40]
