Understand it, then run it
Run it now
Todayrust
// This program demonstrates nothing about the crates.io frontend change,
// because the change is purely a web‑frontend migration and has no effect
// on Rust code. It simply prints a message confirming that the Rust
// environment is ready for use.
fn main() {
println!("Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024) is running. No code changes are required for the crates.io frontend migration.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024) is running. No code changes are required for the crates.io frontend migration.
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.
