If there weren't performance issues I don't think there would be any 
reason for the order not to be fixed. If someone knew the order they 
could rely on it. If they didn't they could also order the assignments. 
I don't think average programmers using Java even notice they learned 
the evaluation order, they just do it intuitively.

For Java, the safety is more important. For D performance is.
