how did other languages solve this issue? I can't imagine D beeing the only language with static constructors, do they have that problem too?
Nobody has solved the issue. The approach in Java and C#, for instance, is to call the static constructor lazily upon class load time. That means it can be called at an arbitrary point during your program execution. And if you accidentally have circular dependencies between static constructors, your program may or may not blow up or behave badly.
