The native client has a rather static policy model. I suppose the future 
of mobile code is in dynamic languages like JVM & .NET based ones, 
Actionscript and Javascript. Of course you all disagree, you are free to 
do so. It just makes sense to me to use e.g. Java since it is not only 
faster than D in many cases, but it has a nice security model and a nice 
class loader (both of which are not perfect, though)
