Concurrency architecture for D2

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

I think we are now in the position of defining a solid set of 
concurrency primitives for D. This follows many months of mulling over 
models and options.

It would be great to open the participation to the design as broadly as 
possible, but I think it's realistic to say we won't be able to get 
things done on the newsgroup. When we discuss a topic around here, 
there's plenty of good ideas but also the inevitable bikeshed 
discussions, explanations being asked, explanations being given, and 
other sources of noise. We simply don't have the time to deal with all 
that - the time is short and we only have one shot at this.

That's why I'm thinking of creating a mailing list or maybe another 
group for this. Any ideas on what would be the best approach? I also 
want to gauge interest from threading experts who'd like to participate. 
Please advise: (a) whether you would like to participate to the design; 
(b) keep discussions on the general group; (c) create a separate 
newsgroup; (d) create a mailing list. The latter would have open enrollment.
