How is the compilation speed - instant (close to Go), seconds (like C# or Java), something longer (like C++, Rust)? Sorry, I have not used D extensively.

golang compilation is about the same speed, if not slower than Java or C#. Especially for larger projects.

It depends on your backend. Dmd is fast but it doesn't optimize as much as LDC or GDC iirc.

Here's an old thread:
