Personally my gripe with compilation times is that I get very

(especially when templates get in the mix) and this really

off. Sometimes I wish I could just interpret D code at runtime

save on compilation time, because I might just be testing the
semantics of code and not necessarily its performance at a time.
Yeah, templates is what slows everything down. I'd be very wary
of using Boost in C++, for instance, because heavy usage of
templates in C++ can slow your development cycle to a crawl in a
large project.
But in D, the risk of recompilation is limited by the module
system, right ?
