There is probably a funny hidden circle here. As wild was initially looking at and utilizing mold (well, mostly their test suite). And now mold (via Claude) would have inevitably relied on wild code.

Perhaps it would have been better to keep mold in maintenance mode while pointing people to wild, not necessarily as an immediate migration target, but as the long term option.

But who am I to argue with a project with such a prestigious sponsor list!

Yep, looks like it's AI assisted:

But I really like Mold, and if he thinks it's the right move, who am I to argue? I'm also a former C++ developer who writes only in Rust nowadays.
