Walter Bright:

I don't agree. Given that what's run at compile-time is 
statically typed code that's easy to optimize, then with 
techniques that are simpler that ones used by LuaJIT CTFE or 
JavaScript V8 JIT (that work on dynamically tyed code, that 
requires lot of work to optimize well), it is able to become 
almost as fast as regular D code (such JITs compile only if a 
computation/loop takes a large enough amount of time, otherwise 
they interpret efficiently).
