You make it sound like there is a problem. ;)

Language does not say anything about how people read declarations. Both 
static array dimensions and indexing are consistent currently in D.

When declaring, it is always

     Type[length]

when indexing it is always

     arr[index]

Note that there is no such thing as a multi-dimensional array in C, C++, 
or D. Hence, there is no reading from any direction; there is a simple 
and consistent syntax.
