Hey there, I wrote pretty much all of this. Sadly I wasn't ever able to finish it, and won't ever be able to due to contractual obligations. It has since languished due to lack of maintainership, even though it's part of the official rust docs.

If anyone wants to take up the mantle and clean it up, it would be greatly appreciated!

Are you writing a book instead? If so, looking forward to it.

If not, I'm completely a loss to understand why contractual obligations would prevent you from writing something.

Perhaps the contractual obligations tie up all of his or her time.

Given the entry paragraph, perhaps Lord Cthulhu doesn't want him revealing any more summoning secrets.

Could be copyright assignment for off-hours work too.

These answers basically cover it.

I, too, fear the wrath of Lord Cthulhu.

From your perspective, do you have any cleanup items that are top priority ?
