Faster linking times with 1.90.0 stable on Linux using the LLD linker
(blog.rust-lang.org)
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.
