Solang is a modern Solidity compiler written in Rust that enables developers to compile smart contracts for multiple blockchain platforms beyond Ethereum, such as Solana, Polkadot, and Soroban. Unlike the traditional Solidity compiler, which targets the Ethereum Virtual Machine, Solang focuses on portability by translating Solidity code into native execution environments for different blockchains. It uses the LLVM compiler framework to generate optimized output, often producing WebAssembly or platform-specific binaries that improve execution efficiency and reduce resource consumption. ...

...It works by inspecting a binary’s call graph and providing detailed breakdowns of which functions are included and how they are interconnected, allowing developers to trace dependencies and identify unnecessary code paths. This makes Twiggy particularly useful in performance-sensitive environments such as web applications, embedded systems, and blockchain smart contracts, where minimizing binary size is critical. The tool offers multiple analysis modes that answer questions like why a function is present, how much space it consumes, and what dependencies pull it into the final binary. By surfacing insights about symbol sizes and call relationships, Twiggy enables developers to optimize builds, remove dead code, and improve load times.
