The pitfalls aren't really any different than C++... either use some kind of smart pointer, or use caution not to escape references to stack memory (very easy mistake to make in D) or slice up the object by value (very difficult to do in D) and you'll be fine. The built-in `scope` syntax is deprecated (though making a comeback recently as more stuff gets implemented around it), but you can also do a library type fairly easily, just slightly heavier in syntax (you need to prepare the memory and construct the object in two separate lines) or prep work (write a struct which does both).
