You seem to be unaware of the history, and this may be leading you to
misunderstand the situation.
Sean Kelly wrote Ares as a replacement for Phobos. Tango began as a
merger of Ares with Mango. "Tango core" is Ares. Druntime is also Ares.
The primary author has never changed, and it's an unbroken continuation
of development on a single code base. Ditto with tango.math, (which was
written by me, originally in a project called 'mathextra').
