Would you guys visit this URL real quick

http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=9518

This is the site that I'm using to learn D. If you scroll down 3-4
screens full, you'll come to the "array" topic. Is this tutorial
outdated, wrong, or what, because it doesn't deem to sync with what
you two fine fellows are telling me about creating dynamic arrays in
the D-Language. TIA..
