(Sorry for the late answer).
Very nice article, it presents a interesting hybrid strategy. It
seems Rust designers have understood some of the disadvantages of
the segmented stacks Walter wrote about.
D used to print a "stack overflow", and it was a nice thing. Is D
using a a single guard page after the stack of a thread? If this
is true can't D intercept the page fault and print the that error
message again?
