There's no need to cast, SysTime supports conversion to string

http://dlang.org/library/std/datetime/SysTime.toISOExtString.html
http://dlang.org/library/std/datetime/SysTime.toISOString.html

If you want just the YYYY-MM-DD slice it

Clock.currTime.toISOExtString[0..10].writeln;
Clock.currTime.toISOString[0..8].writeln;
