While I think dyld is probably short for "dynamic load", I initially read it as 'Dylan Language Deamon" when I read the phrase 'shared dyld cache'.
I know Apple was heavily involved in the Dylan language several years ago. Does anyone know if Swift was influenced by Dylan ?
- dwaite 8y agodynamic libraries on macOS are dylibs. There is a debate whether 'ld' is short for load/loader, or link editor. So you can either read it as the dynamic library load tool or the dynamic link editor. A shared dyld cache would be a cache of metadata used for linking, but not sure if that is for link-time or runtime.
