After all the language bikeshedding I'll add something on-topic to this
thread ;)

I agree with Torarin: It's a very good article, I like how further
explanations are linked and I also wouldn't mind some more examples.

Some additional notes:
 * A link to the std.parallelism docs would make sense
 * "This means that no data that is not either immutable or shared may
be transitively reachable via pointers or references passed into a
spawned function or passed as a message." is a strange sentence with
those two negations in it.
 * Maybe you could compare std.parallelism to OpenMP in terms of syntax
and functionality? That would probably help all the people that are
familiar with it.
