It is our pleasure to announce the existence of a new application library named Tango. Originally born from discussions about how to better integrate Mango and Ares, Tango has since grown substantially in scope, design, and participation to something that truly outshines its humble beginnings. More than a simple collection of tools, it is our belief that Tango is a framework on top of which to build robust and extensible D libraries and applications. And as we feel the availability of solid and extensive documentation represents a prime factor in library accessibility, Tango features a robust and growing set of documentation, examples, and tutorials. A beta code release will follow shortly after the D 1.0 milestone, but in the interim here is an outline of some of its features: * Modularity. The compiler runtime and garbage collector implementation may be chosen at link-time. * Atomic mark/sweep garbage collection by default, with a malloc-based stub allocator to serve as an example for future development. * User interception of important language and system-level errors and events. * Various levels of concurrency, including process control, kernel threads, and fibers (stack threads). * A robust IO framework based on the Mango design. * An array of mathematics routines ranging from low-level IEEE interop. to high-level statistics and numerics. * A networking model that is growing to encompass some of the most common IO designs and network protocols. * Standard C, POSIX, and system API support. * Basic text processing, a container package, logging facilities, and more. Tango has been tested with both DMD and GDC on Windows, Linux, and MacOSX for the x86 and PPC architectures. A selection of contributors include: Alexander Panek Anders F.

Sean KellyThis is /very/ good to hear! I've been tossing up between various platforms for a web app I want to develop, so I'll certainly check this out as soon as it's available, and see if it meets my needs. :) I'm curious, though: if, after D spec 1.0 is finalised, heavy work begins on a new standard library (and if the contribution were welcome!), would you aim for a lot - if not all - of Tango to be folded into this?

Tango IS this. You install it by replacing Phobos. -- Kirk McDonald Pyd: Wrapping Python with D http://pyd.dsource.org

The goal thus far has simply been to produce the best library we can and see what happens. I think a lot of the rest depends on public response and on how standard library development proceeds post-1.0. Sean

There may be two versions for awhile, but let's see how she flies first. -- Derek Parnell
