IIRC, Tango did not depend on libc at all. It only used system calls.
So it certainly is possible.
How did they invoke those system calls? They are usually access via libc
on POSIX systems, so you don't have to implement accessing e.g. vdso on
Linux yourself.
I may have misspoke. I mean they didn't depend on the library itself. I
think they do depend on the C wrappers.
So for instance, they didn't use FILE *, but instead used
read/write/recv/send.
I don't know what's involved in creating those wrappers, but I can't
imagine it's difficult to do with D (it's probably actually easier than
in C/assembly).
