Hello everybody

I've started to use D language recently and
I have faced with such problem:

I have such method:
byte[] encodeLong(long value) {
      byte buf[10] = 0;
      long n = (value << 1) ^ (value >> 63);
      int position = 0;
      while (n & ~0x7F) {
     buf[position++] = cast(byte)((n | 0x80) & 0xFF);
     n >>>= 7;
      }
      buf[position++] = cast(byte)(n);
      return buf.dup;
}

somewhere in the other module I'm doing this:
string s = "some string";
byte[] buf = encodeLong(s.length);

writeln(buf);
char[] av = cast(char[])(buf);
writeln(av);

And I get such results:
[48, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
0

So the questions why?
