embark-compiler

Embark compiler module that abstracts the compiler interface and exposes a plugin API for contract extensions. Current stable version is 6.0.0, part of the Embark framework (release cadence: major versions every 6-12 months, nightly releases). Key differentiators: integrates with Solidity (solc), supports plugin-based compiler registration, and provides a command-driven compilation flow. Compared to alternatives like Truffle Compile, it is tightly coupled with the Embark ecosystem and uses a unique event-based request pattern.
