Photon is a minimalistic multi-threaded fiber scheduler and event loop that works transparently with traditional blocking I/O C/C++/D/Rust libraries w/o degrading performance. Think of it as Golang style concurrency that is brought to D transparently.
All Linux/OSX versions of Photon up to v0.10.0 had a bug in creation of event loop thread, by mistake thread_id was overwritten by error code of pthread_create. Some libc use pointers as tid therefore causing prompt crash on exit, others (glibc) failed harmlessly.
Thanks to the Russian D language community for bringing up the issue.
