Check out this change log from Phobos. Looks like Sean Kelly is very nearly done with the work to move the two D-standard libraries to share one common core runtime.
Hooray!
Background for those who need it: in the world of the D programming language right now, there are two incompatible “standard” libraries. The original Phobos library that ships with the DMD compiler, and the Tango project, a community-developed library that sprang up largely over dissatisfaction with the semi-closed and somewhat disorganized process of Phobos development.
This has really been a thorn in D’s side for a good while now — more than a year. In a recent poll on the D newsgroup, this Phobos/Tango split was the #1 thing that people listed as needed fixing with D. And finally it looks like it’s happening. Happy day for D.
