Shotly: forget about Tango. It exists as an additional useful
library right now for those who really need it. While your are a
newbie you should not care about its existence at all. There was
some bad history years ago but right now Phobos is standard
library both de-facto and de-jure.
Unfortunately, the Internet is still full of outdated crap from
D1 times.
