After reading the recent "Lessons Learned" article [1], and
reading a few comments on the thread, there was a mention of
using __gshared over shared.
What exactly is the difference here?
Are they 2 keywords to do the same thing, or are there
specific use cases to both?
Is there plans to 'converge' them at some point?

You can read it there :
http://dlang.org/migrate-to-shared.html#gshared
Basically, __gshared is for interfacing with C (where
everything is shared by default) without marking data as shared.
Ok, so we should prioritise using 'shared' over __gshared as much
as possible. Good to know!
