On the advice of Walter and Andrei, I've written a blog article about
the low-lock Singleton pattern in D. This is a previously obscure
pattern that uses thread-local storage to make Singletons both
thread-safe and efficient and was independently invented by at least me
and Alexander Terekhov, an IBM researcher. However, D's first-class
treatment of thread-local storage means the time has come to move it out
of obscurity and possibly make it the standard way to do Singletons.

The reddit post is in need for upvotes to make it on the /r/programming
front page. I think posting time wasn't the best: Saturday is the worst
day to post anything
(http://www.slideshare.net/babasave/the-hidden-secrets-of-successful-reddit-posts).
Anyhow, I've also posted to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5660897
