Understand it, then run it
The Rust project has opened a window for people to suggest what the language should work on in 2026. You can write a proposal now and keep it open until the end of January 2026. The proposal process uses a simple template that you copy, fill out, and submit as a pull request to the rust-project-goals repository. The new template is shorter and asks you to say how much help you need from each team, with four levels of support: Vibes, Small, Medium, and Large.
Run it now
// This program demonstrates the current process for submitting 2026 project goal proposals.
// It simply prints the steps you would follow today, as the change has not yet shipped in Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024).
fn main() {
// Step 1: Prepare your proposal using the TEMPLATE.md.
println!("1. Copy TEMPLATE.md and fill in your goal details.");
// Step 2: Open a pull request to the rust-project-goals repository.
println!("2. Open a PR in the rust-project-goals repo with your proposal.");
// Step 3: Await reviews and team approvals.
println!("3. Wait for reviews and team approvals before the goal becomes active.");
// Step 4: Once approved, the goal will be scheduled for the 2026 project cycle.
println!("4. After approval, the goal will be scheduled for the 2026 project cycle.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
1. Copy TEMPLATE.md and fill in your goal details. 2. Open a PR in the rust-project-goals repo with your proposal. 3. Wait for reviews and team approvals before the goal becomes active. 4. After approval, the goal will be scheduled for the 2026 project cycle.
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.
