I found something similar to structs in D:
 myStruct S = {a:1, b:2};
But can't figure out if D does have that for classes.

I believe there's no such thing for classes, you're supposed to use constructors. Class objects are in many aspects more abstract things than POD structs: instead of accessing their data directly there are constructors, virtual (by default) methods, and there is inheritance and interfaces which require the accesses to be rather abstract and indirect to work well.
