No. It's like auto. The type is inferred. It's all statically typed and strongly typed. It's not like it figures out the type at runtime or anything like that. It's all done at compile time. It's just like C++11's auto. It makes refactoring code a lot easier, and it makes generic code a _lot_ easier to write. Without auto, std.algorithm would pretty much be impossible (you _could_ do it, but it would be so disgusting that no one would want to use it, because all of those compound range types get truly hideous if you actually look at the types themselves - voldemort types have reduced that problem, but they'd be impossible without auto anyway). It's up to you whether you want to put types explicitly or use let them be inferred with auto or in foreach loops, but it's more or less common practice at this point to use type inferrence very heavily and to avoid using types explicitly except when you need to. - Jonathan M Davis
