Understand it, then run it

The Rust team announced which projects were chosen for Google Summer of Code 2025. They received 64 proposals and selected 19 that will be worked on during the program. The announcement lists each project, its author, and the mentors who will guide the work. No changes to the Rust language or libraries are described.

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.
