Fibers is really not a system level thing. So I don't think D 
MUST have them as it is claimed that D is meant to be a system 
level language. I rate D against C/C++/Rust, but not Go per se. I 
see that Bearophile sometimes express that D should be be pitted 
with Java/C# rather than C/C++/Rust, but that does not fit for 
what is claimed for D…

The bottom line is: if you decide to make fibers a 
language/runtime feature you have to make them work well across 
the board because you are evaluated against other languages that 
provide them. If it is just an "extras" library features, then 
you can make do with "basic features", nobody expects more.
