Can anyone please explain me what it means for the D

The page is largely unverified, i.e. nobody cares that it is
full of errors…
D does not follow the actor model in any way shape or form…
Wat? std.concurrency is message passing where an actor is
either a Fiber or Thread.
That's a library
So what? Should we say that c doesn’t support threads because
they are implemented in the library.
and it does not have much to do with actors, i.e. it does not
ensure that every actor is an independent entity.
What’s not independent about thread? How it doesn’t ensure that?
To me std.concurrency is pretty much Erlang-style message
passing, except for supervision trees.
