I sort of wish Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Facebook all contribute $200K each and say hey can you now make Mold MIT or BSD.
$200K is nowadays an annual total compensation of a junior dev. I believe mold values much more than a one year outcome of a typical 5-person junior dev team.
20 seconds down to 2 seconds is a huge achievement. I'll still be telling my boss I'm waiting for a build while I go for my 15 minute coffee, though
If it takes 20 seconds, you go for a coffee or switch the window to start web browsing, but if it takes only 2 seconds, you can wait without being distracted. So it's more than just saving 18 seconds for each build. It wouldn't interrupt your flow.

Please give a list of companies (Europe/Japan) where I can apply for such a salary. I started working recently and I'm at more than 10 times less than this...
The Apple linker also seems to have a habit of randomly changing it's mind about certain niggly details about MachO binaries which is extremely irritating as a compiler dev

> $200K is nowadays an annual total compensation of a junior dev *in the US. In my country, those salaries are completely unheard of.

Corporations don't understand the GPL and how isolated, unmodified tools aren't viral.
That sounds strange. Corporations hire enough lawyers to find every possible loophole in tax evasion.

When are you going to start working on a 10x faster clang++? :-)
That's an even crazier goal which is probably 100x harder than writing a 10x faster linker. But I believe it's technically doable. At least, the world needs more crazy people who believe it is technically doable and take it as a challenge. If I get $$$ by selling the mold project to a big tech, I might be able to create a team with that money to tackle that crazy goal...

I don't have a plan, and that's not what I can plan. They can plan in theory, but I believe that's very unlikely to happen.
if mold has multiple advantages over the official ones and no drawback, can't you send them an RFC once mold reaches 1.0?
