I've used only D threads so far.
It would be far easier if you use druntime + @nogc and/or de-register
latency-sensitive threads from druntime [1], so they're not interrupted
even if some other thread calls the GC. Probably the path of least
resistance is to call [2] and queue @nogc tasks on [3].
If you really want to pursue the version(D_BetterC) route, then you're
essentially on your own to use the threading facilities provided by your
target OS, e.g.:
https://linux.die.net/man/3/pthread_create
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682516(v=vs.85).aspx
You can use a library like libuv to handle threads (non-language based
TLS too, not sure that it can be tied in unfortunately).
