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.
All true.
- Also, DMD is slow at optimising.

When you're in the edit-compile-debug loop, it's normal to turn off the
optimizer.
