It is emacs. Every key binding is a possible alternative.
I use

(global-set-key (kbd "\C-c c") 'compile)
(global-set-key (kbd "\C-c n") 'next-error)

Usually I just run non-interactive programs from within compile,

M-x compile
dmd -run program args <<< "program input"

or
M-x compile
make && ./program args <<< "program input"

or just
M-x compile
./program args <<< "program input"

or even
M-x gdb
r <<< "program input"

otherwise I have a separate console (are you using a sane window 
manager?) or use M-x ansi-term.
