Exactly, you are thinking still like D is Python or also
dynamically typed. :) You will get when compiling errors

Python is not statically typed; D is. Why are you talking about
Python? You asked whether D's auto is like C#'s var ... it is,
but it doesn't have C#'s pointless restriction of not being
allowed for non-local declarations.

Just to clarify, even if I set bar in the constructor, I can't

One difference between D's auto and C#'s var or C++'s auto is
that the latter languages allow automatically typed declarations

You can, globals, class members:
class Foo

auto bar = "hi";
}
Foo.bar will be of string type here, because "hi" is a

You can use auto if you're setting the class level variable to a
default.
class X {
auto i = 42; // i will be an int
}
Great!
So I can't declare class level variables with auto, correct? only
local method variables?

I'm struggling to understand what the auto keyword is for and

capabilities as the var keyword in C#. From the C# documentation,
it states:
