Even though I don't care about usable Linux linker I care about a replacement for Microsoft's linker for windows. LDC is an example where you need the closed link.exe in order to link. Hopefully all the llvm projects (lldb, libc++, ...) mature for windows in order to have a replacement for msvc's tools. Until then (and beyond then) GNU tools gcc + ld will be my go to tools if msvc compatibility is not a constraint. They work perfectly well with Golang. But it happens people to release msvc link libraries. Even dmd for windows-x64 needs microsoft linker to work). Unilink is an option, but its closed source. And openwatcom-v2 will take time to get there.
