Did someone already try to do this in dlang?
I guess it will be very hard to beat the java solutions running

The problem with this challenge can be seen in the initial
comments. Writing the fastest possible program *for a specific
dataset* is not the same thing as writing the fastest program for
an arbitrary dataset of that size. And, indeed, the fastest
program is the one that does nothing but print the answer.
Speed on this task doesn't tell you anything about performance
with different types/sizes of data or constraints on programmer
time needed to produce a correct implementation and maintain it
over time.
