Interesting. So now we have a run time comparable with C++'s run time in 
the paper. The implementation by bearophile has 721 lines. Once we have 
compilation times, binary size, and memory footprint, we have a good 
comparison point with the study in the paper.

Far as I can tell D comes in the second place after C++ at run time. 
With optimizations and all it could get significantly closer.


Thanks,
