Rust – Faster compilation with the parallel front-end in nightly

I care deeply about linking times on CI. It's very frustrating having your code all build and run tests locally just to wait a long time for it to pass all of the CI barriers. Plus, CI builds often go stale much faster, so you're looking at much longer build times without caches.

Sure, but you're not really contradicting me unless you're able to get your company to pay for faster tooling. And if you can, why haven't you already?

Well, yes, that is the crux of this argument, that one can convince their employer to use mold. Otherwise, what is the point of using it? Desktop users by and large will not notice a small 3-5% improvement in compile times while those that pay for CI will.
