Wild: A Very Fast Linker Written In Rust, Aims To Outperform Mold Linker
While the Mold linker has been very impressive for its speed the past few years compared to the linkers out of the LLVM and GNU toolchain projects, there is a new high speed linker on the scene and it's written in Rust: meet Wild.
Wild is a new Rust-based linker in development that is led by David Lattimore. Wild aims to work out well for iterative development and ultimately wants to support incremental linking as one of the design differences to Mold, besides the choice of programming language. By writing Wild in Rust, it's hoped that the complexity of incremental linking will be achievable."
