Good move. Especially for incremental builds linking tends to take up quite a large percentage of the compile time.

I've mostly switched to mold for that reason but having a fast default linker is nice.

I didn't know you can change the linker in Rust projects manually.

There are even little interactive tools for it like: cargo-wizard

Brother, some of us already moved from lld to mold to wild already. The project could have waited a little bit, then went with the implemented-in-rust option directly.
