Great news. Makes me wanna do D again after I gave it up mainly because
the lack of Tango for D2 and the obvious death of D1 years ago. I don't
see the announcement in the tango forums. I'm wandering if the original
tango developers have any plans in using D2 and developing tango for D2?
Also what are your plans for maintaining the port? Does it seem it will
have long happy future or it is more of a hobby project?

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to put out an announcement with a progress report on porting effort
of Tango. For those that don't know what it is, Tango is a framework library
that used to be/is the de facto standard library of D1.
Through the heroic efforts by Igor Stepanov, the initial porting was completed
ahead of schedule. All the user modules are now ported (save for
tango.math.BigInt, which right now is aliased to std.bigint... this might
change in the future). All unittests pass on Linux (using LDC2) and most do on
Windows. Additionally, again kudos to Igor, it compiles with -property and -w
flags for all of you style purists. Additionally, most of the examples have
been also ported.
I have personally used Tango in few KLoC line D2 project and I find it works
just as well as it did in D1.
This is naturally not the end, in the coming weeks/months you can expect the
following:
-New Makefile based build system
-Documentation creation
-Ironing out of a few const related inelegancies
-Revival of the support for MacOSX and FreeBSD
-Revival of the GDC
-Shared library creation
-Dance lessons
You can download the latest version of it here:

Does it work alongside Phobos/does it use druntime?
Yes and yes.
Why are you doing this?
Because I want to.
That's all,
