Is there any language that native-compiles faster than D?

I'm surprised that you only have gccgo and not the reference/official 
(or whatever it's called) implementation. That one uses a fully custom 
tool chain, i.e. custom compiler, custom assembler, custom object format 
and custom linker. I'm sure it's faster than gccgo and it might be 
faster than D as well.

There's some work on a new Rust backend [1] as well. Not sure if that 
usable yet.

What about Nim and Vala, don't they count since they're generating C code?
