It does, and it should. In fact, I'd consider it massive selling 
point for D if it were; "you want easy Go-like concurrency? D has 
that too". Right now, it's available easily for writing servers: 
just use vibe.d. But it'd be great if the concurrency was 
available without depending on the rest of the library.

I see no difference between "go func" and "runTask()". "select" 
might be a different matter, though, I don't know.
