D'awesome double sauce! Both Ali and Steve are not only very talented programmers but really nice guys and very approachable - they have always been super helpful on the Dlang forum!

Nice.

At 45:25 of Ali's talk, he mentions A's stack and B's stack. When greetMoon is spawned, does that mean a stack C is created? Is there a stack per thread? How about a stack per core? Are these physical stacks or virtual stacks? My head is spinning but in a good way.

[@MikeShah]

Correct, each thread has its own local stack space. 50 threads (i.e. 50 calls to spawn) mean 50 individual stacks would be allocated. I believe a heap allocation is made for each thread to otherwise manage the stack.
