Like this:

import c.stdio;
import string;

int main()
{
    char[] w;
    char[100] w1;

    printf("Write your name: ");
    scanf("%s", w1);
    w = w1[0 .. strlen(w1)];
    printf("Hi, %.*s\n", w);
}

So, basically, every single time you want to read a string, you must create two spaces in memory. Isn't this redudant, absurd or something like that?

It is. It's because the D run-time library, Phobos, is far from completion,
so you have to use C functions. Of course, later versions will introduce
a better way to read user input.
