I have heard that there are better or at least alternative ways

OOP.
With OOP in D, we have full support for Single Inheritance,
including for Design by Contract (excluding 'old'). D also
supports multiple Interfaces.
What would be the alternatives and why would they be better?
I assume the alternatives would have
1. Better performance
2. Simpler syntax
3. Easier to read, write and maintain
If possible, please provide links to documentation or examples.
At least my game engine PixelPerfectEngine uses Entity Component
System (ECS) for game logic stuff, with the ability of soft
opting out from it.
