str.split('/') is eager, that is, it will iterate the input and 
return the array of delimited elements. So in fact you're getting 
an array of all elements (even empty ones), and then filtering 
it, ignoring empty elements.
If you want to get the output as an array, it's better to use 
std.array as Jonathan mentioned:

import std.array : array;
auto inputArray = str.splitter('/').filter!(a => 
!a.empty)().array;

This will eagerly consume the results of filter and put them into 
an array.
