I argued about this with him briefly before he started writing jai. He
knows about D, although he has no experience at all.
Jon is not interested in D (or any existing language); his vision includes
things that are omitted from D by-design, like AST macros and a
full-featured JIT/execution engine (including binary linkage), and I think
Jonathan sees jai more as a comprehensive solution (which solves the whole
build pipeline) rather than 'just a compiler' which takes a text file and
emits an object file.
There are distinctly different goals.
