Yes, compilation time is a huge problem with introspection-based web 
development.

I have heard earlier that diamond is better, but I've never tried it.

I have vague plans to make my own framework with a focus on compilation 
and development speed. I think there are ways to make it work. 
Essentially, I would make a "development" config, and a "release" 
config, where the former foregoes compile-time duck typing and 
compile-time generation of HTML, and the latter uses the same code but 
uses lots of introspection and inlining to optimize the hell out of it. 
With D I think it's eminently possible.

Excellent!
