I'm currently porting my entire toolchain over to d for day to day. I 
can find references to dtl here and there without a download link, tango 
also mentions implementing some of the things I presume to be included 
within the dtl implementation.

Is it the case that dtl has been folded into tango?

Is there a new date on when tango going to be released (even in a 
beta/alpha state?)

I just don't want to retool already implemented facilities if I can help 
it, cheers.

AFAIK, Tango 0.95beta is still expected to be released at the end of the 
month. DTL was based on an ancient version of D. There has not been a 
deliberate attempt to put its functionality in Tango, but Tango probably 
has most of it -- container classes and algorithms are included, for 
example.

For what it's worth, Matthew has expressed interest to me in eventually 
reviving DTL, but he is currently busy with other projects.  I do think 
the design in DTL is quite promising, but it needs a good bit of work to 
be production quality (and probably just to work with D 1.0).  If or 
when this happens, I'll encourage Matthew to make DTL compatible with 
Tango.  But as Don has said, Tango has containers and algorithms 
already, so it shouldn't be a concern :-)
