Hello. I've made a simple hello world program using dub and dmd 
for Windows. Everything works well, except that every first run 
after each rebuild takes around 3 seconds just to start up. Is it 
normal at all?

Its normal if you don't add an exclusion for that directory in your 
anti-virus.

 Its normal if you don't add an exclusion for that directory in 
 your anti-virus.

Thank you for the hint. Disabling the Windows Defender helped to 
resolve this issue. Although, it's a little bit strange because I 
have never had this issue with my C++ development.

The c++ compiler and runtime libraries are common enough that the 
antivirus realizes it is nothing special, but since D is more 
obscure it just flags it as abnormal and does further checks. 
(more obscure C++ compilers can do the same thing).

Walter has written Microsoft and they have OK'd it before, but 
then one side or the other updates and then they are out of whack 
again :(

Yes, the anti-virus situation is really annoying on windows. I 
couldn't install dmd 2.080 on the work PC as the AV always 
quarantained some of the installed tools which made the install 
routine fail. The blame lies on our work PC's which are 
incredibly misconfigured and limited (proxy that Microsoft VS 
installer can not overcome even if any other program can, extra 
small system SSD, eager anti-virus that cannot be instructed of 
anything, profiles with read/write desktop but no delete (this 
means that a shortcut can be copied on the desktop but can never 
be removed), etc. etc.)
Just had to vent my frustration. I love D but the elements are 
against me to be able to enjoy it to the fullest...
