one big issue:  druntime only supported with phobos using D2. but Tango only 
supports D1 ;)

But some of us are working to get Tango to compile on D2 (it does currently, 
but Tango is not fully constified yet).

I think I'll wait until some of the dust settles before trying to build 
Tango with D2 druntime.

Thanks for the efforts!
