On tango, they fail on osx, since like forever, I had told you but probably

I sort of submitted a bug in http://dsource.org/projects/tango/ticket/1958

OK, sounds like the unit tests may never have passed on OSX.
BTW you can now assume that none of the Phobos devs will look at
anything related to Tango. Compiler-related bug reports need to be
added to Bugzilla.

I have always tried to reduce compiler bugs to lib independent bugs, and submit them


It may have been the link to the Tango site that inspired the comment? Given the recent hard stance on using a Tango-like API, I can't blame anyone that avoids looking at Tango.

The Tango developers have actively isolated themselves. I can't imagine Walter or Sean going out of their way to support Tango again until there is an olive branch from the Tango maintainers.

ok I haven't followed the tango related discussions, but I had my own disagreements about tango that made me almost branch it (but D has enough branches as it is, and I am not interested in mantaining yet another branch). In the end I just decided to be a tango user, and make a layer in blip to insulate me from a too strong dependency on tango.


I just want to use D, sometime it is more complex than it should be :(.
Anyway for D 1 I think that tango is a good choice, actually the only one for 64 bit at the moment...
