That's thanks to a D innovation know as Uniform Function Call Syntax. That's thanks to a D innovation know as Uniform Function Call Syntax.

I like parallelism. Anyone else like parallelism? Sure you do. Let's do some!
```d
import std.stdio;
import std.parallelism : parallel;
import std.math : sqrt;
void main() {
// We want take the square root every number in our array,
// and take advantage of as many cores as we have available.
auto arr = new double[1_000_000];
// Use an index, and an array element by referece,
// and just call parallel on the array!
foreach(i, ref elem; parallel(arr)) {
ref = sqrt(i + 1.0);
}
}
```
