// This program demonstrates the problem that Topcoat aims to solve: building
// full‑stack reactive web apps in Rust. Since Topcoat is not yet available
// in Rust 1.98.1, we simply print a message explaining that the framework
// is announced but not yet usable.
fn main() {
println!("Topcoat is a new framework for full‑stack reactive web apps in Rust, announced in This Week in Rust 661, but it is not yet part of the stable Rust distribution.");
}
What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)
Topcoat is a new framework for full‑stack reactive web apps in Rust, announced in This Week in Rust 661, but it is not yet part of the stable Rust distribution.
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.
