Hi Atul,

thanks a lot for your interest in the D programming language.

I'm not sure what you're asking specifically, could you please 
clarify your question?
Are you by any chance referring to 2018's JNI project proposal 
[1]?

I think the general idea of this project was to make using D code 
from Java seamless in a similar way that autowrap [2] makes using 


 Also since D is fast, can we add inbuilt algorithms related to 
 trees, pattern searching which makes it good for competitive 
 programmers?

Which algorithms do you miss?
And how is this related to JNI? D already has lots of fast 
algorithms, but if you're asking whether we can extend the 
standard library with more, that would probably be a different 
GSoC project.

I think his point was in order to make Java seamless with better 
performance it might make more sense to use JNA rather than JNI.

Yes  jmh530.  sebestianIn the year 2013, work has been done on 
wrapping with the help of JNI. However I suggest to use JNA 
instead of JNI because it is less complex and cumbersome then JNI 
and also I have worked in this field.

Yes. I confer to the general idea. However in the year 2013, work 
was done in JNI to do this autowrap. However, now I insist that 
we should use JNA for it.
Secondly, also I wish to give you an idea for D programming 
languages to include algorithms like e.g. -  quick sort for 
arrays or binary search trees e.t.c.so that the language can be 
used by competitive programmers(as it is fast) making it more 
widespread.
Kindly give me your views. If yes, I would like to work upon it.
