mold 🦠: A Modern Linker in Rust 🦀
mold is a high-performance drop-in replacement linker for Unix, written in Rust, that speeds up the final link step of builds in languages like C, C++, and Rust. Benchmarks show it links large programs several times faster than LLVM lld and roughly twice as fast as the wild linker. It supports many CPU architectures and is widely used in production.
Why now: Version 3.0.0 was just released, notable because the linker was rewritten in Rust, and fresh benchmarks claim 4.9x speedups over lld.
Who it is for: Developers of large C, C++, or Rust codebases who want faster builds, especially during debug-edit-rebuild cycles.
