The fight between Tango and Phobos was one that Tango was 
destined to lose. Phobos was the official library, backed by 
Walter, and Walter controlled the language.

The Tango people eventually gave up and decided to fork their own 
language, and most of the Tango fans went with them. Tango for D 
was effectively abandoned.

Tango for D was taken up by someone else and does run with the 
latest D2, but it is essentially a dinosaur.

Is there an article on "the D way"? If not, maybe someone could 
put together a brief guide.
