I don't think this is really an answer, but awhile back I was 
looking into the difference of D and Go for parallel/concurrency 
and created these two examples[1][2] from the blog

2. https://gist.github.com/JesseKPhillips/774983

The first is a translation to message passing, the second is 
using std.parallelism

I think there is room for higher level APIs, but I don't think we 
will see anything that resembles Goroutines being added.

Should go to D.learn, but not a huge deal.
