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