Hello everyone,
Just wanted to put out an announcement with a progress report
on porting effort of Tango. For those that don't know what it
is, Tango is a framework library that used to be/is the de
facto standard library of D1.
Through the heroic efforts by Igor Stepanov, the initial
porting was completed ahead of schedule. All the user modules
are now ported (save for tango.math.BigInt, which right now is
aliased to std.bigint... this might change in the future). All
unittests pass on Linux (using LDC2) and most do on Windows.
Additionally, again kudos to Igor, it compiles with -property
and -w flags for all of you style purists. Additionally, most
of the examples have been also ported.
I have personally used Tango in few KLoC line D2 project and I
find it works just as well as it did in D1.
This is naturally not the end, in the coming weeks/months you
can expect the following:
-New Makefile based build system
-Documentation creation
-Ironing out of a few const related inelegancies
-Revival of the support for MacOSX and FreeBSD
-Revival of the GDC
-Shared library creation
-Dance lessons
Writing a new book on Dance lessons? :)
