Doesn't D have a debugger? Hitting F9 then F5 sounds a lot faster than fiddling around with the code, hoping that you forget to remove the assert before you go home and that you won't spend time pleasing the compiler.

Yes, gdb. I don't particularly like gdb, though.

I routinely add a lot of instrumentation when developing code. I use `git diff` to remove it before committing.
The compiler builds itself fast enough that this is not a problem. I have one window on the source, the other on the build.
