D is not fast enough either, I only like Java (with the eclipse compiler), Golang and obviously the dynamic languages

Go is fast. D is fast, but its compile time meta programming features can make it arbitrarily slow.

Java, Python, etc actually compile at run time so the comparison is invalid. You can measure the full iteration speed, but then image based wins (Smalltalk, Common Lisp).

AOT compilers for Java do exist and are quite fast.
