Understand it, then run it

Run it now

Todaygo
// This program demonstrates that the os/exec package works as expected
// after the 1.24.7 release. It runs the "echo" command and prints its output.
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os/exec"
)

func main() {
	// Create a command that prints "Hello, world!".
	cmd := exec.Command("echo", "Hello, world!")
	// Run the command and capture its combined output.
	out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Command failed:", err)
		return
	}
	// Print the output to standard output.
	fmt.Print(string(out))
}

What it printed when we ran it on Go 1.27.1

Hello, world!

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.
