Understand it, then run it

The Rust Leadership Council updated its membership in March 2026. They added two new representatives: Rémy Rakic for the compiler team and Josh Triplett for the libs team, while Mara Bos moved from the libs team to the launching pad. The council also welcomed a second Program Manager, Nurzhan Saken, to support the project’s sustainability. No change to the Rust language itself was announced.

Run it now

Todayrust

// This program demonstrates that the Rust language has not changed
// with respect to the Leadership Council update.  It simply prints
// a message confirming that the language remains the same.
fn main() {
    println!("Rust language unchanged by the March 2026 Leadership Council update.");
}

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

Rust language unchanged by the March 2026 Leadership Council update.

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.
