Hi,

this link might be cool or outdated, I don't know.

Kiev is an extension to Java, it may contain some valuable ideas that would 
fit to D. It contains things like better support for MI, multi-methods, 
user-defined operators and much more.

The great thing is, that it's ideas are easy to recognize, because 
everybody is already familiar with it's syntax. And the spec is terse, too.

Certainly looks nice, I always hate to type SomeClass X = (SomeClass)
someMap.get("key").
Too bad their sources don't compile on a regular Java compiler, and both 1.4
and 1.3.1 give verify errors on their jars...
So much for compatibility

Since you're an expert at Java, would you be willing to write up a short
piece comparing D vs Java from a Java perspective? I think it would be very
valuable.

It is a good read. The interesting thing is the date on it is 1998, so what
has happened to it since then?
