Phobos for D2 now uses a similar base to Tango for D1. When Tango gets ported to 
D2 it'll probably use the same base.

Phobos for D1 doesn't use a common base with Tango because Walter doesn't want 
to break backwards-compatibility (which would happen for some corner cases if 
Phobos switched to the Tango runtime) and Tango prefers their own runtime...

There's a version of LDC for D2, but at the moment I'm pretty sure it doesn't 
actually work.
The developers are focusing on D1 first, and have made good progress there, I 
believe. There was a release for x86, and the next release should support x86_64 
too.

GDC hasn't had much progress lately, AFAIK.

D2 is still subject to change at any time.
