Phobos2 is being worked on right now.  I think it's getting better.

My Lord, how is the migration of Tango to D2 going? The last commit I saw on the experimental branch was pretty old.

Look at who did it :) I think it's safe to say D2 for tango isn't going to happen any time soon, if at all. -Steve

Hm... there's nothing newer than a year in the branch directory of Tango, and googling for D2 and Tango just comes up with newsgroup posts. I have reason to believe anyways that despite any effort, Tango won't ever be D2 compatible. This comes from experience of trying to port it. -Steve

IMHO, the primary reason for Tango has been eroding (at least for D2). As I always saw it, the whole point of Tango was that Phobos was basically early-alpha-level with practically no features, and no one actively working on it (just a little bit of occasional attention from Walter). In those days, Tango mage *perfect* sense. But Phobos2 has come such a long way, and has the added bonus of not leaving you lost in epic package/class hierarchies. I don't mean to bash Tango, I used it and loved it for a long time. I'm just not sure it's really needed on D2. What I *do* think could be useful is a "Phobango" of sorts to help in porting D1/Tango to D2/Phobos. Thinks like mapping locate/locatePrior's interface to Phobos2, or Stdout.formatln("{}") to writefln("%s"), etc.

As a library, I loved and used Tango for quite a while. It's still a very good library. I don't think the reasons it won't be ported are technical. -Steve

Some traitors left the development team. 50% bullshit FUD claims about the attribution clause and other shit talk wrt the complexity of package hierarchies were necessary to Boost (pun intended) the adoption of the horrible template abusing bloat library (see the big executable OMG! threads). A Phobos oriented book (again with no attribution to Tango development in D's history) was written to bash Tango. Now we are wondering how this all happened. Exciting times!

 the horrible template abusing bloat library
I'm sorry, but this is what I **like** about Phobos. I really hate nominative typing and traditional Java/C++-style OO for most things. It's verbose, requires too much design to be set in stone upfront, and is not all that flexible. In my own programs I tend to only use it when I really need flexibility at runtime, not just at design/development or compile time, which is a minority of cases. Furthermore, for most things a few megabytes of executable size bloat is **not a practical issue**. For the types of programs I tend to write at least, the disk and memory space the code takes up (100s of KB to a few MB) is negligible compared to the size of the data the at the code operates on (100s of MB).

One other thing is that it's very easy to build traditional designs on top of highly configurable ones (like Phobos tries to offer), whereas the reverse is not possible (or at least not efficiently). I noticed that some tend to think that if they see Phobos going the extra length to define a really general, flexible, and adaptive algorithm or structure, they're forced to write application code all the same. If we align our ducks right, Phobos should be a compelling offering to a large range of designs. Andrei
