I always thought that Java was, intentionally, more like C than C++ is like C.


That was even before they added System.out.format(), which should make
C programmers even happier.


Some time ago, I was trying to figure out if you could make a C compiler
that generated JVM code. I would run much closer to the C standard
than much C code does, especially regarding casting of pointers.
[So what did you conclude? I'd think C type casts would be hard to
turn into Java unless you made all of storage an opaque block. -John]
