Well, actually there is tangobos which is a compatibility lay on top of 
Tango.

As for the future, I see a problem using Tango as currently it seems that 
the Tango team is not interested in working with D2. But I'm sure when it 
is finally released there will be more push to do so. Otherwise there 
isn't much from Walter as to what to do about it. I hope to see a good 
conclusion where there is only one library.
