Comments such as "There are no threads in D out of the box, but they can
be implemented with the use of language libraries" seems unfair all
round. The D platform is compiler + Phobos so there are threads out of
the box. D also has spawn just as Rust does; out of the box. 

Also all the imports for D are missing from the code. 

The error handling example is unfair to D, it is not like Go where
return codes are the sole mechanism of error handling, D has exceptions
analogous to Rust.

The switch example maximizes the number of write operations which is
minimizing the "functional approach" that the article appears to be
driving at. So does the switch statement return a value in either
language? If not can maps/dictionaries be used so as to have a single
output statement of a selected string?
