Please stop discussing library names. There are bigger concerns with the D language. The name does not make the functionality. But if you want to talk about names, Tango sounds old to me. It is a dance and it sounds like it came from the 60s. Phobos has this sci-fi note to it. Maybe because some of us are fans of star craft protos:).
