summary

Solar is a new Solidity compiler written in Rust that replaces the C toolchain front end and focuses on performance with data‑oriented design, multiple IR stages and multi‑threaded passes. It parses single files 5–10x faster and emits analyzed JSON/ABI up to 40–50x faster in CLI benchmarks, supports parallel parsing across many files, and already powers Foundry features like dynamic linking and forge‑lint. Backend codegen is front end only (no bytecode yet) with a prototype backlog.
