Native Java won't be a problem for D if they keep JNI for talking 
to the system. I wish I never had to work with JNI in 
multithreaded environment. All the type information goes away and 
their global reference system is impossible to use with RAII 
correctly.

D's ability of using a C function just by declaring it and 
linking with C code is a bless.
