LDC is based on LLVM, just like rust/zig, so it's gonna be slow

DMD is the reference compiler, it is what you should use to get 
fast iteration time, in fast my game with 20+k lines of code 
compiles in just 0.7 seconds

I only use, and i recommand you use LDC for your release builds 
as LLVM has best optimizations


On windows it is a little bit slower but not that much

No matter the language, as long as you factor in templates, if 
you abuse them, it's gonna slow down your compile times since 
they need to be computer at compilation time
