Understand it, then run it

The Rust team has published a new survey about debugging. The survey asks developers what difficulties they face when debugging Rust code. It is meant to help the team understand where the current debugging tools fall short. The survey will close on March 13, 2026, and the results will be shared on the Rust blog.

Run it now

Todayrust

// This program simply prints a reminder to fill out the Rust debugging survey.
// The survey is not yet integrated into the compiler, so we just show a message.
fn main() {
    println!("Rust debugging survey 2026 is open until March 13, 2026.");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

Rust debugging survey 2026 is open until March 13, 2026.

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.
