That's awesome. I skimmed the docs and the capabilities are pretty much
what I'd expect. We should push for integrating Orbit in the standard

etc.
This tool has a couple of dependencies on my own libraries (available of
course) and Tango. I'm not feeling so enthusiastic to remove these
dependencies.

One question - since you mention replacing Ruby with D, I'm thinking it
may be a good opportunity to just use D syntax everywhere. The arguments
have been hashed already - a D user is supposed to know of all syntaxes
that of D itself etc.
That was what I was referring to.
Thoughts?
I was thinking having basically the same syntax. One syntax I'm not sure
what to do about is the hash literal syntax Ruby uses.
orb "dwt", git: "git://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dwt.git"
https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orbit/wiki/Integration
The above could be translated to:
orb("dwt", ["git" : "git://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dwt.git");
That doesn't look very nice.
Also I might need to be able pass values of different types in the same
hash. Sure, Variant can be used in that case but that would look even
more uglier.
