Mold: A Modern Linker

>"Concretely speaking, I want to use the linker to link a Chromium executable (~1.8 GiB in size) just in 1 second. LLVM's lld, the fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago, takes about 12 seconds to link Chromium on my machine. So the goal is 12x performance bump over lld. Compared to GNU gold, it's more than 50x.

I don't know if I can ever achieve that, but it's worth a try."

PDS: I think it's definitely worth a try! I'll bet a lot would be learned that would be useful, regardless of success or failure!

Opinion: There is some absolutely fascinating information on this page, if you're into linkers...
