What is nice with Nim it that it has a GC heap PER THREAD. No 
need to stop the other threads during a GC...

https://nim-lang.org/docs/threads.html
https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#threads

"Nim's memory model for threads is quite different than that of 
other common programming languages (C, Pascal, Java): Each thread 
has its own (garbage collected) heap and sharing of memory is 
restricted to global variables. This helps to prevent race 
conditions. GC efficiency is improved quite a lot, because the GC 
never has to stop other threads and see what they reference. 
Memory allocation requires no lock at all! This design easily 
scales to massive multicore processors that are becoming the 
norm."

I'd suggest taking inspiration from that for D's memory 
allocations and garbage collection...
