Reading this article: http://www.evanmiller.org/why-im-learning-perl-6.html
makes me curious about the state of Dlang's M:N thread multiplexing.

Quoting the article:
"if you want M:N thread multiplexing your options today are precisely Erlang, Go, .NET, and Perl 6."

Is it possible to add D to this list of languages mentioned in that article?

There is std.parallelism, which maps M tasks to N threads [1]. Not sure how it deals with blocking I/O, though.

Whenever I asked about CSP in D I got the answer to consider vibe.d. D has fibers. In addition to have something like green threads, it would need a mechanism that a fiber that is going to be blocked when taking from an empty channel is detached from that channel and assigned to one that is not empty.

Not sure I agree that .NET has m:n threads in sense of CSP/green threads. About Perl 6 I don't know. Java has it as well through Quasar (http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/) and the JVM in general through Coroutines in Kotlin (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines.html)
