The front page example doesn't compile. http://www.rust-lang.org/

chris@chris-linux-desktop:/tmp$ rustc tmp.rs 
tmp.rs:7:30: 7:31 error: expecting '{' but found '('
tmp.rs:7                 io::print(fmt!("%s says: '%d'\n", name, *num))
chris@chris-linux-desktop:/tmp$ cat tmp.rs 
fn main() {
    for ["Alice", "Bob", "Carol"].each |name| {
        let name = copy *name;
        do task::spawn {
            let v = rand::Rng().shuffle([1, 2, 3]);
            for v.each |num| {
                io::print(fmt!("%s says: '%d'\n", name, *num))
            }
        }
    }
}

Works for me with the 0.4 release. Is there a way we can make it clearer what version of rustc you need for the front page example? This question seems to come up a lot.

When I looked at the Rust index page yesterday, the left-hand side said "Release 0.3.1", so I downloaded and compiled that version of rustc, which then failed to compile the program on the index page of the Rust website. It was not a good first experience of the language.

Works for me with the 0.4 release though.
