Yes I expect it will.
I'm currently experimenting with Tango and working out what might be needed to allow building with Tango rather than Phobos, plus what I need to do to have Bud itself use Tango.

Great, thanks for the quick reply. Do you recommend I hold off using Tango until more people support it? As a D newcomer, I see this Phobos vs. Tango issue to be a very confusing. Having two separate libraries may be an obstacle for attracting new programmers. I don't want to spend all my time learning the wrong library if it's eventually going to become obsolete or unsupported....
Any suggestions? I'm tempted to just wait until D matures a little more, and continue programming with Python in the meantime....
Thanks,
Mason |

Hey Mason,
I'm also a new D programmer, and I'm finding Tango to be a great library to use. I'd suggest using it; however, since a lot of the build utils (Bud and DSSS) and other such programs still rely on Phobos, don't get rid of Phobos. My setup is a shell script to switch between the two libraries, and I'm very happy with it.

Thanks, you have a very good suggestion. I'll have to give it a try. |

I use tango also and probably won't go back to phobos, but like snoyberg said there are scripts that you can call once to change back and forth between the two.

I think it would be good if bud could support both tango and phobos and both dmd and gdc in a similar way rebuild in dsss does. It would be really great if you could use the bud command like this: bud --std=tango --compiler=dmd or bud --std=phobos --compiler=gdc
for the compiler option the following could be allowed (except the obvious dmd and gdc): gcc (on gentoo the gdc is built in in gcc) gdmd (for the dmd front end to gdc) |

Yes it would be good and I will get around to it. However, I have yet to install and use Tango yet, so I need to first learn about how to use it. I will probably make a Tango-based verion of Bud too.
