What's the difference between static assert and the normal assert function? 

Static assert is evaluated at compile-time.  It can be useful to validate
template parameters and such.

What's the difference between static assert and the normal assert 
function?

 Static assert is evaluated at compile-time.  It can be useful to validate
 template parameters and such.

I also use it for checking versions, i.e.

version(VersionOne)
{

}
else version(VersionTwo)
{

}
else
{
    // There must be either VersionOne or VersionTwo defined
    // Fail if there isn't
    static assert(0);
}
