struct, then I have to write (*pt).X to access field X of that

It is in our guidelines too. I almost never write "->".

Ah, right. I just tested, and turns out Go does actually automatically dereference pointers to structs, but not to arrays. So if arrp is a pointer to an array, writing arrp[0] is a syntax error in Go, and it must be written as (*arrp)[0]. D on the other hand, as far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong), would automatically dereference the pointer.

nope. a pointer can be indexed like in C. ptr[n] is equivalent to *(ptr + n) irrespective of what the target type of the pointer is. Fully expanded for T* ptr : *(cast(T*)( (cast(void*)ptr) + (T.sizeof * n) ))
