You might want to educate yourself about arbitrary decisions that waste time and money: https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/ctors#static-init-order
My solution was to turn those static this's in to functions and simply call them at at the start of main(). Same effect yet doesn't crash. The compiler should only run the static this's once per module load anyways, right? If it is such a problem then some way around it should be included: @force static this() { } ?
There is a way, turn static this's into functions and simply call them at the start of main().
The compiler shouldn't make assumptions about the code I write and always choose the worse case, it becomes an unfriendly relationship at that point.
If you want C++, you know where to find it, although I wouldn't exactly call it "friendly".
