I missed colored output of #GNU ld for a long time. I created a simple wrapper script in #RakuLang to provide fairly usable highlighting of the linker messages.

Still work-in-progress, but fairly usable now.
Update: Now, the highlighter is a little bit smarter and does not overuse bold text so much.
Well, with “a simple script”, I lied a little bit. It has currently ~200 SLOC in Raku. Since it's a quite large state machine with backtracking, I can't imagine writing this in C or similar language without suffering.
