Understand it, then run it

Rust 1.85.0 was released on February 20, 2025. The announcement also mentions the upcoming Rust 2024 release. No new language features or library changes were introduced in this release, so the core language and standard library remain the same as in Rust 1.84.0.

// This program demonstrates that Rust 1.85.0 does not introduce new syntax or APIs.
// It simply compiles and runs as any other stable release would.
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, Rust 1.85.0!");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

Hello, Rust 1.85.0!

Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
