Solar's 100× Solidity benchmark, reproduced stage by stage
Solar is described as a new Solidity compiler with an "up to 100× faster" compilation claim, published by Paradigm Policy on 2 November 2026. The public source is one line: there is no baseline solc version, corpus, flag set, warm or cold state, or bytecode-equivalence check. This short follows the post's reproduction harness: pin the toolchain and binary hash, separate synthetic stress files from pinned real contract sets, isolate parsing with solc's stop-after flag, instrument phases, and report warm and cold runs separately. The goal is to make the claim falsifiable, not to debunk it. Full stage-by-stage write-up: https://hackyjs.com/posts/reproducing-solars-100-solidity-compilation-benchmark-stage-by-stage
