 I salute the decision of going with D2, as well as that of using the 
 Boost license. If there is anything in the language that prevents you 
 from getting things done, please let us know. The availability of QtD 
 concurrently with that of D2 will hopefully push both forward.

Speaking of pushing things forward, please guys, push whatever is needed to
push Tango to D2. I was (once again) inspecting the possibility of switching to
D2, and phobos goes nowhere near (near is not the right word, it goes nowhere
far far far far near) Tango. Comparison is simply impossible (no offense,
really). This, at lest for myself, means no D2. So please, please, please ask
the same question to the Tango guys: "If there is anything in the language that
prevents you from getting things done, please let us know." I recently asked in
the Tango forum why there is still no D2 Tango and the answer was because const
is inflexible. I don't know what that means as I never use consts, but please
resolve it, because IMO Tango is probably (at the moment), along with the GUI
libraries, the most import D project. It is hard to tell if GUI is more
important or Tango, but I would vote for Tango.

Yea, Tango is probably the main reason all my libs and code are D1 atm. But, 
AIUI, one of D2's biggest showstoppers for Tango is just simply being a 
moving target (which is also the secondary reason my stuff is still D1). So 
that's largely just a "finish D2" thing, which is already being pushed as 
much as it can be :)
