Understand it, then run it

Run it now

Todayrust
// This program demonstrates that the `flodl` crate is not available in Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024).
// It simply prints a message explaining the missing dependency.
fn main() {
    println!("The `flodl` crate is not available in this Rust version.");
}

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

The `flodl` crate is not available in this Rust version.

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.
