No. Clearly using tango xml will not fly.
We need a new xml library. For many reasons, besides this tool.
I also think serialization is something we should have in phobos,
regardless of Orbit's requirements.
I've tried that, nobody was interested.
std.process should be remedied soon (it's nearing review).
The others, I'm not sure.
What about this as a possible ongoing solution:
Step 1. Include orbit in BINARY form on the distribution, keep it in its
own project wherever it lives now. Dogfood be damned...
It's _is_ written in D. I just chose to use libraries that exists and
works. BTW, probably around half of what's included in the DMD
distribution is not written in D at all.
Step 2. Port as much as possible to Phobos. As libraries become
available, try to port it over to the new library.
Utopian step. Include Orbit and source in distribution, without external
dependencies.
That could work.
I don't see why dmd distribution needs to include the source for all the
tools it uses. I frequently never touch the source of dmd distribution,
I just use the compiled binaries.
Me too.
This might be kind of viewed like DMD. It has parts in it that are ASM,
that Walter is slowly porting to C++. Why can't we use that same model?
