People have already suggested you to actually try vibe.d at least once before repeating "CSP is necessary for easy async" mantra. How about actually doing so? vibe.d + std.concurrency gives you pretty much standard actor model - it lacks more complicated schedulers and network message passing but fundamentals are all there.
CSP-style programming in D needs to be drop-dead simple as in Go to take off. You need to know about channels and the go command to spawn a thread and that's it. That's why Go was that successful. Vibe.d might be a well written system, but nobody will learn D and thereafter vibe.d. It is either laughable simple as in Go or it will not be noticed. The simplicity of channels and goroutines as in Go created the excitement. The same simplöicity is needed for any other language. The whole thing can be implemented with vibe.d, but at the surface there must only by goroutines and channels and nothing more.
