my first D program, what is wrong with it?

[Gilles G.]

Well, I think on windows \r also clears the current line...
So instead you should use something like:

 import std.stdio;
 
 int main(char[][] args)
 {
 
     writefln("===================");
     for (int i = 0; i < 50000; i++) {
       writef("\rhaaaaa ", i);
     }
     writefln("\n===================");

     return 0;
 }

This should work, but notice that I did not try it...
