Crate of the Week: makepad

Nice to knowecosystem

What changed: The weekly newsletter named *makepad* as the crate of the week, describing it as an in‑development shader‑based live designable open‑source UI framework.
Production impact: The source does not say.
Try it: Add makepad to a new Cargo project and explore its API.

Understand it, then run it

// This program demonstrates that the crate `makepad` is not part of the standard library
// and cannot be used directly in Rust 1.98.1. We simply print a message to show the
// current state of the crate.
fn main() {
    println!("makepad is an in‑development crate; it is not available in the standard library.");
}

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

makepad is an in‑development crate; it is not available in the standard library.

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.
