For everything else, you can use formattedWrite:
```
import std.array : appender;
auto writer = appender!string();
writer.formattedWrite!"%s is the ultimate %s."(42, "answer");
writeln(writer.data);
```
without any GC:
```
/+dub.sdl:
dependency "emsi_containers" version="~>0.6.0"
+/
import std.format, std.stdio;
void main()
{
import containers;
DynamicArray!char arr;
arr.formattedWrite!"%s is the ultimate %s."(42, "answer");
printf("%.*s\n", arr.length, arr.ptr);
}
```
