The issue is that they (the core developers) don't want Tango
in any of the core tools and I don't feel like replacing Tango
with Phobos for something that is working perfectly fine as it
is. It's even working better, because it doesn't depend on
libcurl which has caused a lot of problems. It's not even
available by default on Windows.
On the other hand. I would like to rewrite DVM from scratch and
add support for LDC and GDC as well. That could be an
opportunity to remove that dependency on Tango, as long as no
new dependencies are added, like libcurl.
I see, but if you're going to rewrite DVM anyway, we might as
well start brainstorming now and see what needs to be done, how a
possible toolchain integration could / should like and so on. Are
there any additional features you or anyone else would like?
