Personally my gripe with compilation times is that I get very used to
having fast build times where I can go through an edit+compile+run
cycle really fast, but after a while build times get slower
(especially when templates get in the mix) and this really throws me
off. Sometimes I wish I could just interpret D code at runtime just to
save on compilation time, because I might just be testing the
semantics of code and not necessarily its performance at a time.
