Video: A linker in the Wild (Rust linker)

This week I presented a talk at the Rust Sydney meetup about the Rust linker I'm writing called Wild.

There are also slides, including speaker notes with roughly what I said, or intended to say.

I'm most excited about the possibilities for closer integration between the Rust compiler and the linker, which have the potential to speed up compilation more than just having a faster linker. I go into these possibilities a bit in this talk and I intend to do a blog post at some stage going into more details about these.
