Why wont the following code compile?

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     myStruct[] mystructs = {
         {1, 1.1f},
         {2, 2.2f}
     };
}

extern(C){
     struct myStruct{
         int x;
         float y;
     }
}

It fails with the (unhelpful imo) error message:
source/app.d(7): Error: a struct is not a valid initializer for a 
myStruct[]

The reason I need a C struct is because I'm interfacing to a C 
library that expects an array of myStructs.

Arrays are enclosed in [] ;)

In my defense, I believe C initializes arrays with the curly 
brackets....
Can I keep making excuses?

Yes you can... And don't worry, I mess up initialization too. 
Lots of time.
Especially when I tried initializing an array of structs made of 
2 structs.
I think I wasted at least 15 minutes before giving up :D
