I have done bindings fpr pthreads (win32) and portaudio. Does
it make sense to put them there too?

i hope the final const comes about - we do not want to use 1.0.

i have been lurking for gtk ..., but nothing seems to go with images and the like. Jascha Wetzel seems to be porting tango to 2.0 and so we are willing to use 2.0. one thing thats badly needed is database stuff like firebird.

i think i should clarify one thing. tango is a necessary evil. much rather use phobos, but it does not have all the goodies of tango yet. we are searching anything that can be run with phobos (port of the hashmap etc to phobos from tango).

what do you have against tango? If tango was shipped with DMD would you also have an issue with it?

I'm not being defensive, I'm just wondering.

Jascha haven't been involved in our 2.0 branch so far ... he certainly is helping us in other respects though.

You want a database written in D? Or bindings like those in http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddbi ?

For what it's worth, I don't use tango. The OP just stated a strong opinion without any stated rational, I was just wondering what the rational was.
