Including scripting languages in that example is unfair as they only lex the file.
Right away you can tell that "Hello World" is a poor example of fast compile times because GCC is near the top; (as you probably know) large Cpp projects can have half hour to an hour long build times. Large projects are way faster to compile using dmd.
Using the code from even a small piece of code that does something real, all of a sudden the numbers get a lot closer. Here is the code I'm using: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks/tree/master/brainfuck2
$ time rustc bf.rs rustc bf.rs 0.29s user 0.05s system 99% cpu 0.350 total $ time go build bf.go go build bf.go 0.46s user 0.07s system 128% cpu 0.416 total $ time dmd bf.d dmd bf.d 0.32s user 0.09s system 73% cpu 0.556 total $ time g++ bf.cpp g++ bf.cpp 0.36s user 0.36s system 65% cpu 1.093 total
