But it is no longer updated, is it?

Thanks anyway for the work on sold.

Essentially, yes, but that’s because Apple’s new linker is so much faster than it was. You can use it instead.

Out of curiosity, do you know what technical choices Apple made to be so much faster?

I don't know the details, but once it is proven that achieving lld/mold/sold-level performance is technically feasible, it shouldn't be extremely hard to achieve similar success for macOS.

Sold was just mold under a commercial license. Mold is still maintained and now licensed permissively.

That's true but mold doesn't have MacOS support.
