Good article. But why didn't you mention core.sync? It has both a
Mutex and a ReadWriteMutex (ie. shared_mutex).
Because that would have required a ton of explanations about why you
need casts everywhere to remove shared, and I don't even know where to
begin to explain shared semantics. Shared just doesn't make sense to me
the way it works right now.
The examples in C++ are much clearer than anything I could have done in
D2. I don't want to have to explain why I have to bypass the type
system every time I need to access a variable. I'll add that I'm coding
in C++ right now so it's much easier to come up with C++ examples.
That said, it might be a good idea to add a note at the end about
core.sync in case someone wants to try that technique in D.
