Not exactly, but basically. read this for a bit more info

A slice is a bit more general than a dynamic array. You can slice
into a static array, or any buffer really. The slice just also
acts as a dynamic array and can create one on-demand if you
append to it, and also slices are how D represents the underlying
dynamic arrays to user code.
