While D was designed with a different purpose from that of Java, I'm wondering if there has any thought to compiling D to Java bytecode.

That would be tough, Java bytecode has insufficient power to implement D efficiently. MSIL is much more possible.

I thought about that, too. Bytecode could be a first output language for a new compiler...
