Java?

It occurs to me that moving to Java might be better than porting code to C/C++. It means the loss of iterators, which have been a great help. But the iterators are mostly used in TKCS (pervasively) and the reference resolution engine. If the former is replaced by TableDB, things look possible. And the later is more recursive than iterative.

This is a big change in attitude on my part, as a result of considering TableDB--there is no way TKCS could have been developed in Java.

Of course, things will be more difficult in Java. I've been spoiled by a higher-level language!
