I'm curious to learn the reasoning behind this decision...yeah, I presume it's Rust's memory safety mechanism, but other than that, what other reasons are for switching from C++ to Rust?
"I think this is long overdue, given that many large programs have already adopted mold. It has been used in production for years."
That's not a good reason to replace GNU ld with mold, I'm still skeptical about
rewriting EVERYTHING in Rust. What's the real reasoning? Who's pushing this so much?
