I hate printf. It's type usafe, it likes to crash etc., etc. I wish I could just:

char[] s;
int i;

file.scan(i).scan(s);
file.write("bla ").write(i);

and same with stdio. Can I?

You mention writef in your subject. D's writef (and writefln) is a typesafe version of printf. You find them in std.stdio.

Right. But I still got to use those "%s" etc. things ...

Nope, you don't have to.

writefln("foo ", 345, " bar ", 345.34, " baz");

you can use them though if you want formatting, like:

writefln("round(2): %2.2f", 345.34534);

Have you tried:
writefln("%");
i can't try it now but i remember it used to not work.

Btw (this is reply to Lars Ivar Igesund):
writef is runtime type safe, it cheks all the types at runtime,
while something like what David (and i) would like
does compile time type checking.
