Ever since mold relicensed from AGPL to MIT (as part of mold 2.0 release), the worldwide need for making another fast linker has been greatly reduced, so I wasn't expecting a project like this to appear. And definitely wasn't expecting it to already be 2x faster than mold in some cases. Will keep an eye on this project to see how it evolves, best of luck to the author.

what is the status of Windows support in mold? reading the github issues leads to a circular confusion, the author first planned to support it, then moved Windows support to the sold linker, but then sold got archived recently so in the end there is no Windows support or did I just misunderstand the events?
