// This program demonstrates that Rust can be used in safety‑critical contexts.
// It simply prints a message confirming that Rust is already deployed in such systems.
// The code compiles and runs on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024).
fn main() {
println!("Rust is already shipping in safety‑critical systems.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Rust is already shipping in safety‑critical systems.
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.
