solang VS anchor

Solidity is language for smart contacts originally designed for Ethereum. If you want to execute your Solidity smart contract in a blockchain whose VM interprets WASM, then you need to compile Solidity into WebAssembly. Currently, we target Substrate (https://github.com/paritytech/substrate) and Ewasm (https://ewasm.readthedocs.io/en/mkdocs/) that need WebAssembly. This is the project's repo: https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/solang

If you really want to use solidity there is https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/solang , a solidity compiler for Solana. You will still need to learn how to interact with the Solana blockchain but you can do it in Solidity.

I see solang can compile Solidity code to Solana. Can this code be deployed to the Solana blockchain?

You could try to use https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/solang and target WASM.

It should be technically possible as I see there is a solidity to wasm compiler: https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/solang

cargo install --git https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor avm --locked --force

If you want to roll your own check out the Anchor Framework. There are also deployed contracts that you can use like Gem Farm.

To code in Rust and deploy contracts on solana, I would recommend the anchor framework https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor
