The other programming languages typically use an interpreter for 
quick iterations and rapid development. For example, Python 
programming language has CPython interpreter, PyPy Just-in-Time 
compiler and Cython optimizing static compiler (not perfect right 
now, but shows a lot of promise).

D still has a certain advantage over interpreters, because DMD 
generated code is typically only up to twice slower than LDC 
generated code. If the x86 architecture stops being dominant in 
the future and gets displaced by ARM or RISC-V, then this may 
become a problem for DMD. But we'll cross that bridge when we get 
there.
