Is there any language that native-compiles faster than D?

You could add Crystal [1] as well for completeness. It uses LLVM 
as its backend, so it might not be fast.

BTW, I see that you download DMD from dlang.org. The binaries at 
dlang.org are compiled with DMD itself. You should compile DMD 
yourself using LDC, with the appropriate flags. It will give you 
a boost, perhaps 30%.
