One thought here:
If Tango is still useful in the D world but there isn't too much
enthusiasm about porting it to D2, why not break its
functionality (that isn't already in Phobos 2) down into a set
of supplemental libraries that can be included as needed?
Or just put it in one library and call it "Tango2" or something like
that ;)
(To allow porting of all kinds of Tango programs, about every Tango
class would have to be ported to D2 anyway, so one could just as
well do a proper port. Because of druntime it could coexist with
Phobos2 - which was really the point of druntime for D2.
Unfortunately nobody wanted to do this hitherto).
It's also worthy of note that I wasn't addressing the porting of Tango
programs specifically. The modular approach does lose there.
I thought with "[...] the functionality and APIs provided by Tango is still
available as needed, and porting becomes something that can easily be done
incrementally."
you meant porting Tango programs to D2, I'm sorry if I misunderstood.
I guess having some Tango modules (e.g. for Streams or XML) for D2 may be
useful, until there are an adequate alternatives in Phobos.. but it would most
probably harm the acceptance of these alternatives, once they're ready.
