Great talk! Would love to see the improvements to phobos 
suggested.

An idea for the virtual address space problem on 32-bit:
- Assuming each stack has a marker page at the end to prevent 
overflow, by simply exchanging the stack memory with a separate 
block of memory you can reduce the number of marker pages saving 
up to one page per fiber
- Could use some fast compression method to save a not recently 
used stack in memory
- As a last resort can save stack to a file and read it in again 
when it is required. Since events are queued the event loop can 
easily peek ahead in the queue and start loading in a stack early 
so that it is ready by the time that event gets to the front.
