Yeah I have been reading Bartosz's blog a lot lately, I especially liked his entries on thin-locks and the use of shared qualifiers, which is why I can't wait to toy with his concepts once D fully supports the primitives to implement them.

The recent thread about CPUs/GPUs also is of big interest, I really like Sweeney's concept of having four different processing models to form an all-around framework. I will definitely be working on an implementation soon.
