No, I literally killed the process and rerun dub again, how have this not been fixed yet?
Iterative and incremental development is impossible with vibe.d.

Dub leaves a lot to be desired as a build system. I gave up using dub for my vibe.d project a long time ago. Instead, I create a fake empty dub project in a subdirectory whose sole purpose is to declare dependency on vibe.d, then I run dub only once in that subdirectory when I want to update vibe.d.  The rest of the time, I use my own build system to do the actual build/link.

My turnaround time was significantly improved by doing this.
