C++ is a pretty bad example to demonstrate Java's "productivity". That's kinda like saying "I can build a house much faster with a rubber hammer than with a handful of oatmeal." It'll be a long painful experience either way (Although I have to admit DMD's source isn't too bad, but I think that's because it seems to be more a 90's C++ than a 2000's C++, back before STL iterators, etc ;) ).
