The Go team certainly have, and have changed their goroutine model twice because of it. No matter what they do in Go 0.0 →1.4, 1.5 onwards will be different since the who system is being revised: Go implemented Go toolchain, new GC, new runtime. I suspect Go 1.6 will be the watershed for this, but that will likely be 2016. The question is though what should happen in D. If Vibe.d fibres are a single threaded system, then they are not suitable for the actor, dataflow, CSP implementation needed in D since that must sit on a kernel thread pool where each lightweight thread is animated by whichever work stealing kernel thread comes along. Erlang, Go, GPars, Quasar, etc. all have different solutions to the problem of thread pools and task switching since the context is all important. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
