async/await is not so much about futures/promises, but optimization of IO-bound operations, i.e. when you wait on network/disk, you don't consume stack, threads and similar resources, an analog in D is vibe.d
I should have been more clear - it's not the async/await bit I am interested in so much as the Task behavior - that I have some object which represents the (future) completed state of a task without the recipient of that object having to know what the type of the task function is as they are only interested in the task result. I'll take a closer look at vibe.d and see if they already have a system representing this before I cook up my own.
