Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust
The high-speed linker 'mold' has released version 3.0.0, which is a complete rewrite from C++ to Rust. This new version aims to improve compatibility with GNU ld, enhance memory safety, and pave the way for its adoption as the default linker in Linux distributions.
Why it matters
The move to Rust significantly improves memory safety and stability for developers, while increased compatibility with GNU ld could streamline build processes and lead to wider adoption of 'mold' in critical software infrastructure.
