That's not
so easy with C++.
D is far faster at compiling than C++.
True, but:
- It's not orders of magnitude faster. You still have to wait for a
re-compile of large projects.
- Linking takes just as much time as compiling.
- Can't account for the time it takes to boot your application back up
after compiling and get back into the state you were in when you wanted
to make the change.
- Also, DMD is slow at optimising.
