Non Strict Variables

[buchanan]

I don't see anything here that couldn't be translated pretty much directly to Java:

• The various data types become classes: structs become new classes, double, int, etc become Double, Integer...
• In the value class, the void* becomes Object, the enum type becomes Class, the value* becomes an object reference to the parent instance of the same class.
• Casts, methods, etc stay almost the way they are.
• Mallocs become new Whatever, frees go away.

This would look very odd in Java, and one suspects the problem being solved, whatever it is, could be addressed in a more idiomatic way (interfaces, as mentioned, come to mind), but unless I'm missing something the code could be ported almost as is.
