If you want containers, use: http://code.dlang.org/packages/emsi_containers If you just need an array, use: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_experimental_allocator#.makeArray

The [] operator returns a Range object iterating over the Array elements, similarly to what the begin()/end() cbegin()/cend() function pairs do in C++. The range object does not copy the array element, only contains a slice to them. So your question ends up in comparing hand-written loops over std::find_if().

I have std.container.array!MyClass classes; then std.algorithm.find!("a.myInt == b")(classes, 3) I was hoping this would find the first object in classes who has myInt == 3 but I just get many errors about not being able to find the right definition. I guess std.container.array isn't a range? Or am I using it wrong? First, should be std.container.array.Array!MyClass. However I don't think(?) that the Array struct is a range itself, you might have to use classes[] instead to get a slice of the array.

If what you want is a dynamic array (as opposed std.container.Array), then you can simply malloc the memory and then slice it to get a dynamic array. It's just that it's then up to you to manage the memory properly, and if you attempt to append or concatenate, it'll result in the GC allocating a new array. - Jonathan M Davis

Is there a GC-less array that we can use out of the box or do I have to create my own?
