Rust 1.96.0 Released: Key Language and Compiler Updates — Rust Releases

Rust 1.96.0 introduces several significant updates including the ability to pass expression metavariables to `cfg`, and always coercing never types in tuple expressions. These changes enhance the language's flexibility and reliability, particularly in complex conditional compilation scenarios. Developers can expect improved ergonomics when working with configuration-specific code paths and more predictable type coercions, making Rust even more robust for systems programming.
