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

IFTI is supported, but only in simple cases. Relevant tests: 
https://github.com/MrSmith33/tiny_jit/blob/master/source/tests/passing.d#L3342-L3434

Macros are not yet implemented. But I have variadic templates. 
(See tests below IFTI tests).

Here is a fun one. Combining #foreach, variadic template function 
and type functions to get writeln functionality. selectPrintFunc 
gets run via CTFE and returns alias to relevant function. $ 
functions work like traits. $type is $alias restricted to types 
only.

void printStr(u8[]);
void printInt(i64 i);
$alias selectPrintFunc($type T) {
	if ($isInteger(T))
		return printInt;
	if ($isSlice(T))
		return printStr;
	$compileError("Invalid type");
}
void write[Args...](Args... args) {
	#foreach(i, arg; args) {
		alias func = selectPrintFunc(Args[i]);
		func(arg);
	}
}
void run() {
	write("Hello", 42);
}
