I still don't understand what you mean by "distributed". Spawning 50.000 
tasks:

	import vibe.core.core;
	import std.stdio;
	
	void main()
	{
	    foreach (i; 0 .. 50_000)
		runTask({
			writefln("Hello, World!");
		});
	}

Alternatively, runWorkerTask will also distribute the tasks among a set 
of worker threads, which would be more in line with Go AFAIK.
