I'm not sure this is correct. From what I can see GPars had no 
green threads or something to mimic them like Kotlin Coroutines 
using fibers. Also, I can't see that GPars had continuations.

They had a module to have something like green threads before 
Rust turned 1.0 and then canceled it before Rust 1.0 was 
released. To my knowledge this module is still discontinued.

It would be cool if D would get continuations. Then together with 
the existign solution for fibers you could greate something that 
matches Go's CSP-style concurrency or Kotlin's Coroutines.
