Wow. Has it been almost 20 years since the gold linker appeared?

LLVM's lld linker is typically faster. see https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-10/slides/Ueyama-lld.pdf and https://lld.llvm.org/

The developer behind the lld linker then developed the mold linker - see https://github.com/rui314/mold and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34382908

There's also the wild linker - see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wild-Linker, https://github.com/davidlattimore/wild and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42814683
