I'm designing an application which needs to process a lot of data as

functions which can operate on different segments of my data. I would
like to
run these functions in parallel but:
spawn() precludes returning a value
the docs seem to be silent on the possibility of using out parameters
Do I have to use messaging passing to get a value out of a pure function
being
run in a separate thread?
Currently, the D standard library (phobos) does not support futures, but
David Simcha's parallelFuture does:

I would believe this is roughly what you're looking for.
