Because it puts everything on the same line, you get the "irrelevant" surrounding code as part of your error message.
?eval `let () = 1;`
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/main.rs:1:34

1 | fn main(){ println!("{:?}",{ let () = 1;
| ^^ - this expression has type `{integer}`
| |
| expected integer, found `()`
The fn main(){ println!("{:?}",{ is irrelevant to my mistake and is just noise when you're trying to parse the error output. By putting the provided code on its own line, you could instead get an error message like
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/main.rs:2:5

(I produced this second output by doing ?eval with a code block with a blank line before the code itself.)
