Understand it, then run it

The Rust compiler has a component called the trait solver that checks whether types satisfy trait bounds. A new, more powerful solver has been added and is now the default on nightly releases. This means that when you compile code with the nightly compiler, the compiler will use the new solver instead of the old one. The change mainly fixes many bugs, improves type inference, and can make some programs compile faster or slower depending on the code.
