That is actually incorrect. Tango was a replacement for the
Phobos Standard Library in D1 to expand on the thin
capabilities of the library at the time. In D2 (current D

includes most of the functionality of Tango. Ergo, TDPL
(Andrei's Book) is the current Gold Standard D book.
So Tango replaced Phobos, just to be replaced by Phobos later?
What are/were the fundamental differences? Why two libraries?
This admittedly kind of confused me :-D
Shotly: forget about Tango. It exists as an additional useful
library right now for those who really need it. While your are a
newbie you should not care about its existence at all. There was
some bad history years ago but right now Phobos is standard
library both de-facto and de-jure.
Unfortunately, the Internet is still full of outdated crap from
D1 times.
