Understand it, then run it

Run it now

Todaygo

// This program demonstrates that Go 1.26.2 does not introduce new APIs.
// It simply compiles and runs with the standard library as of Go 1.27.1.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	// Print a simple message to confirm the program runs.
	fmt.Println("Go 1.26.2 changes are internal; no new API to showcase.")
}

What it printed when we ran it on Go 1.27.1

Go 1.26.2 changes are internal; no new API to showcase.

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.
