Playing with tiny web-interface apps I found that modern
versions of dmd & vibe has such a fast compiling but a very
long executable linking time.
Something like 2-3 seconds of compiling stage (with vibe
prebuilt), and 24 seconds of total build time
Welcome to template bloat hell.
IIRC diet templates is very template heavy, it makes tons of (D)
template instantiations and the linker has a lot of work because
of that. It is even worse with LDC.
If there is runtime diet parser(which I doubt) instead of default
`render!` template you can move diet to it to save on compile
time.
