Understand it, then run it
Askama and Rinja are two separate crates that let you write templates in Rust. They have now been merged into a single crate. This means that instead of pulling in two dependencies, you only need one. The merged crate keeps the same API names, so existing code that used Askama or Rinja will continue to compile without changes.
Run it now
// This program demonstrates that the Askama and Rinja crates have merged
// into a single crate named `askama_rinja`. Since the crate is not
// available in the sandbox, we simply print a message that would
// normally be produced by a template rendering.
fn main() {
println!("Askama and Rinja have merged into `askama_rinja`.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Askama and Rinja have merged into `askama_rinja`.
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.
