This is a sore point for me in D. Assoc arrays in D don't work at compile time. It's a really longstanding issue:

It's a real shame because I prefer just about everything else about metaprogramming and compile-time evaluation in D over C++.

You can write your own in D though.

I don't know how to yet. And if this is possible, is it also possible to fix standard assoc arrays?

AFAIK, yes, it's just that nobody has done that yet.

The D runtime was written before there were templates, and it shows.
