Hi,
I want to create a static array and immediately init it with 
values:
 uint[xxxxx] data = [1,3,10,44,0,5000];

I don't want to set the length of it explicitly (xxxxx in square 
brackets). I want that compiler itself counted number of values 
(in example it is 6).

What should be a right syntax?

There's no special syntax for this (even though it's been 
requested numerous times). However, it's easy to implement in a 
library:

import std.traits : CommonType;

CommonType!T[T.length] staticArray(T...)(T args)
if (is(CommonType!T))
{
     return [args];
}

unittest {
     auto a = staticArray(1,2,3,4);
     static assert(is(typeof(a) == int[4]));
}
