It sure is!

That's the primary reason I became interested in D - the speed of 
compilation, using dmd.

When I use C#, I still prefer VS2010, because it has super fast 
compilation speed, compared to all later versions of VS 
(including VS2022) - at least in my experience.

I don't care how great a programming language is, slow 
compilation is a real turn off!

Hooray for dmd!!
