| I don't want a slop linker. Why are people selling out their projects? |

| This is NOT a slop linker, Mold is a reference in the world of linkers and this port is official. |

| ▲ | menaerus an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Last time I checked it didn't make any difference or whatsoever when compared to lld so I would not go that far by saying "mold is a reference in the world of linkers" - made a test just few days ago on 10M LoC C++. So, rewriting the codebase in another language just because doesn't seem like an investment worth doing when there's much bigger fish to fry. |

| The days when AI always means slop are gone. It still often does, but the latest models can be used to get very high quality code in many situations. I haven't checked the code here but I would be surprised if it's bad. |
