Submitted to arXiv on August 24 as 2608.23228 and accepted to ASPLOS 2027, the 15-page paper explains how mold decouples symbol resolution from archive processing so every pass can be data-parallel, rather than relying on any single optimization. It links multi-gigabyte debug binaries in under a few seconds and often under one second. The paper reached 183 points on Hacker News.
