+      D is a systems programming language. Its focus is on combining
+      the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer
+      productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. The D
+      language is statically typed and compiles directly to machine
+      code. It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles:
+      imperative, object oriented, and metaprogramming. It's a member
+      of the C syntax family, and its appearance is very similar to
+      that of C++.

+	<para>
+	  Tango is a cross-platform open-source software library,
+	  written in the D programming language 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. 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.
