D's templates has always been very strong and useful compared to C++'s.

The following example is similar to C macros because it generates code as string and mixes it in as code but you can combine templates as well. This example generates a struct definition.

(Edit: formatting)

  import std; // Entire package for brevity
  
  auto memberDef(string type, string name) {
    return format!"  %s %s;"(type, name);
  }
  
  auto memberDefs(string[] members...) {
    return (members
            .chunks(2)
            .map!(pair => memberDef(pair[0], pair[1])));
  }
  
  auto structDef(string name, string[] members...) {
    return format!q{
      struct %s {
        %-(%s%)
      }
    }(name, memberDefs(members));
  }
  
  unittest {
    mixin (structDef("Foo", "int", "i", "double", "d"));
    auto f = Foo(42, 1.5);
    assert((f.i == 42) && (f.d == 1.5));
  }
  
  void main() {
  }
