I enjoyed this comment:
"The D guys have thrown a lot of time behind making their compiler fast"
It's not exactly true. What has happened is I spent a LOT of time trying to make
my C/C++ compiler fast. That experience has enabled me to design D so it is
fundamentally fast to compile, and enabled me to pick an internal design for the
compiler that I know will be fast.
The actual time I've spent profiling and tuning DMD for speed has been minimal,
though I've still gotten caught by a few mistakes.
