Understand it, then run it
The Rust team announced a change to how program goals are scheduled. Instead of a six‑month cadence, large initiatives will now follow an annual rhythm. A project member can still start a goal at any time if the team is ready, but the overall cadence is yearly. The update also mentions improvements to the goal‑tracking website, such as dark mode and better formatting.
Run it now
// This program demonstrates that there is no new Rust language feature
// introduced by the program‑management update. It simply prints a
// message confirming that the update only affects goal scheduling and
// website formatting, not the compiler or standard library.
fn main() {
println!("Program‑management update: no code change in Rust 1.98.1");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Program‑management update: no code change in Rust 1.98.1
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.
