Bearophile often compares DMD to world class products such as LLVM. Even 
though Walter might be the best compiler writer in this world, he can't 
compete with a motivated team of professionals. The Intel C++ compiler, 
GCC, and LLVM teams are simply much bigger and well paid. Same things 
with DMDScript vs Google's Javascript engine. It's almost impossible to 
compete with these big teams. If you need performance, you probably use 
these tools instead.
