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

You should have a look at the self-hosted Zig compiler as well. 
I'm not sure if it's mature enough to benchmark (it currently 
only supports a small set of Zig). You would probably need to 
compile it from source as well.

Have a look at this post [1] I made, that mentions how the Zig 
compiler uses incremental compilation. Even a full build 
(non-incremental) seems really fast. Although, I don't know how 
well it scales.
