> ldc2 is awfully slow to compile5

LDC = LLVM backend

it's slow for D, for C++, for Zig and also slow for Jai

The reference compiler "DMD" is what you use to get fast iteration time

Try to compile the DMD compiler and notice how fast it is at compilation

So that sounds like it's a "your code" problem, my game engine takes 1.2 seconds to fully recompile with DMD

Looks complete with exhaustive code examples that you can run online

> Ok, so I don’t like D and C++ and jai looks good. But what about all the other languages?

Ok so that explains everything
