OK well I found the rewrite to Rust part interesting:
https://github.com/rui314/mold/releases/tag/v2.42.1
We are rewriting mold from C++ to Rust, and 2.42.1 is likely to be the last C++ version of the linker unless we need to make another patch release. The Rust version of mold will be released as mold 3.0. A tool like mold needs to be developed with the expectation that it may remain in use for decades. Given that expected lifespan, mold is still relatively early in its life, and we believe that rewriting it in Rust at this point is the right decision.

Um. Why is even this tagged vibecoding? It's fairly off topic, as a software release with no technical content, but nothing LLMish seems to be mentioned at the link
Every recent commit message stinks of LLM banter and Claude is the second top contributor in the repo.
