At their core, they are incompatible, because their implementations of 
Object and such are incompatible.

There is an almost-existent library, tangobos, that allows most Phobos 
software to compile over Tango. I'm going to get that released properly 
Any Day Now [tm]. (It exists, but I'm very busy today, don't have time 
to do everything)
