That's true.  When I took over Program D, I took as my primary task the
aim of making it ultra-stable and ultra-fast.  I employed everything I
knew (and learned a lot more) about optimizing Java programs, and worked
over several months to make the thing run as dependably and as fast as
possible.  This effort was certainly at the expense of all sorts of
architectural issues.

I am really interested to follow this Program J development.  I've
currently taken up work on Program D again actively, and this time I'm
aiming for a certain kind of extensibility and architectural improvement. 
I don't have the expertise to do really serious J2EE integration, make
JavaBeans, etc., but if I see that there's something that would make sense
to "borrow", I'll certainly do so.  I hope that our efforts will be
mutually useful!  :-)
