GCJ vs. D

[Jeremy]

What do you think:

GCJ (native Java GNU compiler project) vs. DMD?

My thoughts:

* DMD is still much more faster and memory efficient, but GCJ v4 is closing the
gap
* GCJ allows you to compile Java as if it was just another language, but your
code can still be made into bytecode (so you ideally get the best of both
worlds)
* GCJ can interface with C/C++ (CNI)
* DMD lets you get away from everything-is-an-object which can be nice...

I think it is going to be harder for DMD to compete if such a strong native Java
compiler is making good progress...?
