i know in advance that D is great but as a javanese i [we] need some missing
keywords for COMPATABILITY with java i mean throws for checked exceptions
and instanceof of checkd typecasting
i know i can do everything with D but with a large code i [we] need to transform
from java to D it is a tedious work
so we NEED these keyword just for COMPATABILITY .

CONSTRUCTOR:
i don't know why you choose to make D constructor like this 
i mean using this keyword as constructor 
i think it is a bad idea , inconvenient and unreadable for a while
i think you also must use the C++/java style for constructor
and this FOR COMPATABILITY only.

As a C++ programmer, I think throws clauses are far more trouble than they're
worth.  Particularly for a language that can call C code which may in turn
generate system errors that propagate as exceptions.

and instanceof of checkd typecasting

Dynamic typing will improve as D matures.

For what it's worth, I'm a long time Java user and I utterly disagree 
with you. If D were to add keywords and operators to ease your issues of 
porting Java projects, where does it end? From how many other languages 
should keywords be added? While I would love to see some particular Java 
features implemented in D (reflection, introspection, dynamic 
instantiation), I don't expect them to be implemented the 'Java way'. 
Think of it this way, if you move to D permanently you only need to port 
the project once.

D is not Java. D is not C++. The reason it seems foreign to you is that 
you are not 'Thinking in D'. Once you've worked with D for a while, 
this() as a constructor becomes quite natural. And contrary to your 
difficulties, I now find it much more readable than having constructors 
named after the class - this() just jumps out immediately and screems 
'I'm a constructor!' because it's identical for every class. Maybe it 
will do the same for you over time.

Mr. Parker I was about to say almost the same as You did.
I, as C++ user, could (acually i would not - but just for an example :)
require *_cast , throws, using (...) keywords; Modula-3 developers would


Kind regards

I second this notion and propose, furthermore, that the language Java be known
henceforth as D--. Sun?

LOL!

You have a point there, we must deal with other languages from a 
position of strength.
