D most certainly isn't actor based, although you can provide 
libraries that enable actor-like modelling. It is not 
unreasonable to say such in a blog post where people should 
interpret things less formally.

What I pointed out was that it is unreasonable to claim it in the 
online documentation.

Fault tolerance is a key aspects of actors. For that you need 
independence between actors. D can never provide that with a 
library.
