Hello,
What's the recommended D way to declare a string constant? Say,
for example, for a path used inside a class constructor? I've
seen const string, immutable, enum etc...
Is this the place for these kinds of questions? Is there a D
stack overflow?

For string constants you’ll usually want to mark them as `static
immutable`. Strings with this combination will usually be put
into read-only sections (ROM) of the resulting binaries.
Unlike `static immutable` which specifies that data exists once
in a specific location, `enum` (“compile-time constant”) is more
similar to copy & paste where the compiler inserts the value into
each location where it is referred to.
