What changed in Go, Rust and Solidity this week.

// This program demonstrates that the Go toolchain no longer supports the
// windows/arm (32‑bit ARM) port.  It simply prints a message confirming the
// removal, which is the effect of the change in Go 1.26.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("windows/arm support has been removed from the Go toolchain.")
}

// This program demonstrates that Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release
// with no new language features. It simply compiles and runs
// using the current stable compiler.

fn main() {
    println!("Rust 1.85.1 is a patch release with no new features.");

// This contract demonstrates that delete on a memory bytes array element
// clears only the targeted byte, not the whole 32‑byte word.
contract Main {
    function clearByte(uint index) external pure returns (bytes memory) {
        bytes memory data = new bytes(5);
        // set all bytes to 0xFF for visibility
        for (uint i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            data[i] = 0xFF;
        }
        // delete the element at `index`
        delete data[index];
        return data;
