When looking at the success of Go it seems to me that it is caused to a
large extend by the kind of multi-threading Go offers which is something
like "spawn as many thousand threads as you like".
Being able to spawn as many thousand threads as needed without caring
about it seems to be an important aspect for being an interesting
offering for developing server-side software. It would be nice if D
could also play in that niche. This could be some killer domain for D
beyond being a better C++.
While Go uses channels and goroutines D takes some actor-style approach
when spawning threads. This is also fine, but the problems remains that
you cannot create as many D kernel threads just as you like. Maybe this
could be something to improve in D and promote in order to give D a
further boost. I don't mean to be pushy, it's just about exchanging
ideas ;-). The FiberScheduler by Sean Kelly could achieve something in
that direction. What do you think?

I agree, but I also wonder why you still keep ignoring vibe.d. It
achieves exactly that - right now! Integration with std.concurrency
would be great, but at least for now it has an API compatible
replacement that can be merged later when Sean's pull request is done.
