This program does something similar to yours (but it doesn't print
newlines):
import std.stdio, std.range;
void main() {
auto fib = recurrence!q{ a[n-1] + a[n-2] }(0, 1);
writeln(take(fib, 21));
}
Bye,

Yeah, thanks
I just wanted to post a bit of code which went wrong :P
Didn't look for optimisations.
Also, how come recurrence isn't properly lazy?
If I define a recurrence and iterate over it twice with foreach, it
takes the same amount of time due to the stack size being set. Is there
a way of defining a lazy list that stores the results when calculated?
That's not lazy, that's caching. lazy is 'calculate this when asked'.
You can cache with array:
auto cached = array(take(fib, 21));
// cached now contains the first 21 elements of fib.
