Indeed. If you have not defined a constructor, the language defines one
for you, which is parameterless. It does nothing but allocate and
initialize memory.

The moment you define a constructor of your own, the compiler decides
you probably want to define the parameterless constructor yourself, or
not at all, and thus does not define it for you.

If you want both, then define both:

class MyClass {
     string name;
     this() {
         name = "Foo!";
     }
     this(string name) {
         this.name = name;
     }
}
