Understand it, then run it
The Rust team released an update on the project goals for the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026. The update lists the goals that were pursued, how many were flagship goals, and gives a high‑level view of progress. It does not contain any new language feature or API change. The update is meant for people who want to see what the project is working on, not for developers who need to change code.
Run it now
// This program demonstrates that the project goals update does not introduce
// any new language feature. It simply prints a message indicating that
// no code change is required.
fn main() {
println!("Project goals update: no code change needed.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Project goals update: no code change needed.
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.
