It didn’t arise from misterminology, but people who do call it their
(de-facto, but nonetheless) standard D library. You might not accept,
respect or acknowledge this in any way, but then again you seem to be
all into semantics.
“A standard library for a programming language is the library that is
conventionally made available in every implementation of that language.
In some cases, the library is described directly in the programming
language specification; in other cases, the contents of the standard
library are determined by more informal social practices in the
programming community.”
I think Tango meets every but the first (conventional) “rule”. So there
might have been a misunderstanding I do get tired of on your side.
Kind regards,
Alex
