Nice talk.

I'd like to relativize the statement about JITing CTFE though.
This is feasible, even given issues such as global local variables. [1]

I have a byte code interpreter for most of CTFE. I have been 
unexpectedly busy lately, but hope to get my D frontend out the door in 
a more or less respectable state soon.


[1] Given that I understand the term correctly. Is this what you meant?:

int foo(int x){
   immutable globalLocal1 = 1;
   int globalLocal2 = x;
   int foo(bool first){return first?globalLocal1:globalLocal2;}
   enum y = foo(true);
   return foo(false)+y;
}
static assert(foo(2)==3);
