once again dconf contains people who talk about compile speed as if it can be slow

What are they doing? Even my worse compile time abstraction was O(n^2) or maybe some awful string concatenation of an entire file; still effectively instant

Wheres a 1000 line file that does something meta programmingly useful that takes 5 minutes?

Do they lose track of what the compiler is even doing? Do they turn off the template recursion depth limit?

No idea. Maybe they should use shell + awk + sed more. This is how chads generate code blazingly fast.

Compiling Hello world in D is a little bit slower that Go language.

Thats the runtime and std self importing everything and if your being wrong dub taking an entire 1/2 second to consider how to to call one of the easiest to work with compilers

Th dub thing is straight stupid, the std should have a dag of acceptable imports, and the runtime is unfortunate fixed cost. But even if dub is in play with its unacceptable half sec to read a 10 line json, it isnt the "90 minutes" weka compile they talk about.
