Not sure what you mean by efficient here, but a \theta(n+m) one is done idiomatically with Allocator+ranges like this (note that the casts to and from ubyte are necessary, because std.range.primitives.hasLength returns false for narrow strings, so we have to explicitly state that we want to work in code units): --- char[] strcat(Allocator)(Allocator alloc, string a, string b) { import std.experimental.allocator : makeArray; import std.range : chain; return cast(char[]) alloc.makeArray!ubyte(chain(cast(ubyte[]) a, cast(ubyte[]) b)); } --- Usage example: --- void main(string[] args) { import std.stdio; import std.exception : enforce; enforce(args.length == 3); import std.experimental.allocator : dispose; import std.experimental.allocator.mallocator; alias alloc = Mallocator.instance; char[] concated = alloc.strcat(args[1], args[2]); scope (exit) alloc.dispose(concated); writeln(cast(string) concated); } ---

If you are OK with just a range spanning the two or more strings, then you could use chain as is.
