So I'm porting so #golang code to #dlang and there is all these blasted "go" statements.So I thought I'd give implmenting it in D a shot. What do you guys think?
Fire away :).

import std.stdio;
import core.thread : Thread;
import core.sync.mutex : Mutex;
import core.time;

void main() {
    auto ch = chan!int(1);
    go!({
        foreach (i; 22..44) {
            ch._ = i;
        } });

    foreach (i; 0..10) {
        writeln("pop: ", ch._);
    }
}

// Implementation

void go(alias F)() {
    auto t = new Thread(F);
    t.isDaemon(true); // we don't care if this thread dies.
    t.start();
}
