Summary: Evolve the Java programming language so that beginners can
write their first programs without needing to understand language
features designed for large programs. Far from using a separate
dialect of the language, beginners can write streamlined declarations
for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs
to use more advanced features as their skills grow. Experienced
developers can likewise enjoy writing small programs succinctly,
without the need for constructs intended for programming in the large.
