Concurrent Thread Safe List?
I'm looking for a non-blocking way of a thread pushing objects into a list and another thread able to pull objects from the same list. Thread 1 pushes objects onto the list, Thread 2 pulls the oldest objects off the list. Does D language have something like that?

First half of the article I was thinking, this isn't what I want. Then in the second half where you got into the mailbox analogy, that's exactly what I want. Thanks.

If I want a non blocking receive call, would I do bool receiveTimeout(T...)(Duration duration, T ops); with a duration of 0?
