Then there's C/C++ which has libs that offer what are known as

its
coroutines: It lets the user write a normal coroutine, with a
normal
yield, which then gets trivially rewritten behind-the-scenes
into an
event loop (with NO actual fibers involved). I'm not sure to
what
extent this would be possible in D. If it is, the lack of
preprocessor
would probably make it much less nice-looking to use than the
C/C++/C#
versions. (Not that I'd want a preprocessor.)
Is this also known as protothreads?
