A very fast linker for Linux. Contribute to davidlattimore/wild development by creating an account on GitHub.

By writing Wild in Rust, it's hoped that the complexity of incremental linking will be achievable. These benchmark were run on David Lattimore's laptop (2020 model System76 Lemur pro), which has 4 cores (8 threads) and 42 GB of RAM. This has been run successfully on a few popular crates (e.g. ripgrep, serde, tokio, rand, bitflags).
