J C Calvarese (7/63) Jul 25 2004 If it works, I'd say it's right. :)

Thanks :) That's so... JavaScriptish.

It's also C++ish and Javaish. Whereas C++ allows you to create class 
instances on the stack, D does not. All class instances must be created 
on the heap, and all class instance variables are references. Structs, 
on the other hand, may be instanced on the stack. So the following is okay:

struct Foo { int bar; }

Foo f;
f.bar = 1;

Quick question, which is the "correct" way?

... = new Foo;
or
... = new Foo();

Just wondering because thy both work!

If it works, I'd say it's right. :)

I usually see "Foo()" used, but apparently it doesn't matter if there 
are parentheses or not if it doesn't have any parameters.
