Here’s the translated code from Go to D Programming Language, along with explanations in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:
Rate limiting is an important mechanism for controlling resource utilization and maintaining quality of service. D elegantly supports rate limiting with threads, channels, and timers.
Running our program we see the first batch of requests handled once every ~200 milliseconds as desired.
For the second batch of requests we serve the first 3 immediately because of the burstable rate limiting, then serve the remaining 2 with ~200ms delays each.
In this D version, we use Channel for message passing, Timer for rate limiting, Semaphore for bursty rate limiting, and Thread for concurrent execution. The overall structure and logic remain similar to the original example, adapted to D’s syntax and standard library.
