I'm trying to strip repeated values out of an int array using uniq. It's returning a UniqResult which can't be accessed like an array... how can I get it to return an array, or cast whatever it is returning to be an array?

Most functions are lazy in order to allow more centrol over the memory. This means the actual value is computed only when needed.

To use an array import std.array and do [1, 1, 2].uniq.array; for example. This will allocate a new array to keep the result.

have you tried std.range's .array?
