Announcing Slang alpha: an independent Solidity compiler that is up to 79x faster than solc

Announcing Slang alpha: an independent Solidity compiler that is up to 79x faster than solc

We recently talked about the massive progress we’ve been making with slang-solx, slang's LLVM backend, in terms of faster compilation times and providing a better UX for Ethereum developers. Today we’re sharing an update on slang, our full Solidity compiler that is independent of solc.

Announcing slang-solx: a Solidity compiler that's up to 5× faster

Ethereum development needs to be faster. Today we're releasing hardhat-slang-solx, a Hardhat plugin that swaps in Nomic Foundation’s new Solidity compiler backend: slang-solx. Across our benchmark suite it compiles roughly 1.7x faster than solc in legacy mode and roughly 5x faster than solc
