Did you import std.stdio? I tried the following and it works:
import std.stdio;
void main() {
write("abc");
stdout.flush();
}
Do you have a code snippet that you're having trouble with, so that we
can look at it more carefully? It's a bit hard to tell what your problem
might be without seeing the actual code.

This forum (d-learn) is the correct forum for posting questions about
learning D. The GDC forum is for discussions specific to the GDC
compiler (building the GDC compiler, bugs/issues with GDC, etc.).
