I assume this refers to task in std.parallelism and the various 
bits in std.concurrency for message passing.

I'm very surprised that D made the cut but Go didn't. I'm even 
more surprised that Rust was included even though it's not even 
1.0 yet while Go is at 1.1.1 currently.

I wish they had some kind of explanation or code examples to 
justify each one as in other articles, because I'm also very 
interested...
