Understand it, then run it
Run it now

// This program demonstrates the bootstrap change.
// It simply prints a message; the change itself affects the build system,
// not runtime behavior, so we just show a placeholder.
fn main() {
println!("Bootstrap redesign is now in effect.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Bootstrap redesign is now in effect.
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.
