[as] as in delphi make a checked typecast [objref as classref]
and [throws] as in java with which we can raise an exception 
very easily in java methods
thanks in advance

work already.

very easily in java methods

"throw" is already a D keyword and raises an exception. "throws" is something
quite different - it's in Java to support exception specifications, which are
now generally acknowledged to have been a bad idea.

thanks Mike
but why i want these keywords?!!! because i am a javanese man
and i really want to tranform a lot of java codes to d 
and im thinking for something like awt,swing for java
so deficient keywords like [throws ,instanceof,boolean]
make my dream a nightmare
i know with [D] we can do every thing as we like but as 
a lazy javanese programmer i need these keywords to make
my life easy and make me smile again

AWT, Swing?? And that's your only problem? Man, good luck ...

They are not "deficient", they are missing - so what?.

- boolean is bool (or bit),
- "if (o instanceof x)"  is  "if (cast(x) o)"
- throw is throw
- throws: just drop it from the method signature, D has no checked exceptions.
(For what it's worth I'm also 'javanese' and I principally like the 
concept of checked exceptions, but the Java API has just gone overboard
with these in too many spots - 'javax.transaction.UserTransaction' any one?)
At least, I don't see how that will hinder you from from converting Java 
sources to D.
- "as" has never been a Java 'keyword' (or something else recognized by javac).

Well, you're perhaps just too lazy ;-). Your "missing keywords" will very
likely be the least problem when you're going to convert Java sources to
D - most of them could be handled by simple string replacement or a slightly
more advanced regexp algorithm.

So I'd say: Wake up, D is not Java! You'll have to do some work on your own.

Best regards,
Stefan

I remember someone was writing a tool to convert java code to d.
I also remember that inner classes were speically added to d to ease 
that task.
