I'm quite serious here, no joking ... Make a version of D for the JVM

ahead of Java and does not have to carry problems from earlier premature
decisions. The success of Scala, Groovy and JetBrains seeing a business
case for Kotlin comes for a reason.

Both the JVM and the CLR are unable to fully express D in their bytecode.
The CLR could do most things but Ranges/Slicing where ridiculously slow.
The development never progressed much beyond that. Although, i've always
wondered if it would be possible on a newer version of the CLR...
