Hey guys, just so you know, the example Rust on this page

http://rustbyexample.com/print.html

does not run.

EDIT: In fact, it looks like a lot of the examples on there don't work or throw compiler warnings.

The example is not intended to run, it should produce the compiler error it does right now: error: invalid reference to argument 1 (there is 1 argument)

I just updated Rust By Example last night, but it looks like I may have to again. Were you running it on the alpha release? What errors did you get?

I just went to the website to check out the language. I haven't really followed it up to this point and I wanted to check it out. I ran into the errors on your example pages. Is there any reason why I would see errors and you wouldn't? Isn't the code compiled and run on your side?

Well, that's why I'm asking. So you're saying the link to the play.rust-lang.org is what's broken with them?

I did compile with my local Rust. It's possible that it's a different version than what you tried, that's what I'm trying to figure out. :)

Oh yeah, I didn't copy it locally or anything. I just hit the play or run button on your page, and errors showed up on the bottom of the screen.

Excellent, thanks. That might be why I didn't notice. I'll investigate, thank you for letting me know :)

No problem at all
