D for the JVM

It's also somewhat wrong to pair D with C++. C++ can't bring 
anything new to JVM because as a language it's not more powerful 
than Java, it's just native - and that feature gives no advantage 
on a virtual machine, because native features will not work there 
and thus should be discarded. On the other hand D has not only 
native but also some cross-platform features like scope guard, so 
it's not like C++: C++ can't compete with java on JVM, D can.
