= The Library =

Tango is a cross-platform open-source software library, written in D for D programmers. It is structured as a cohesive and comprehensive library for general purpose usage, and is supported by a growing number of recognized D enthusiasts.

As a team, we feel the availability of solid and extensive documentation represents a prime factor in library accessibility, and thus this project is as much about documentation production as it is about top-notch functionality. Grab a cup of tea and a sandwich, and read on:
