From the first post in the series:

> I am very happy with what I have learned, about Rust and about how to implement a virtual machine. In particular, I am super happy about having implemented a real, working, garbage collector. It’s quite mediocre, but it’s mine and I love it. Given that I have achieved what I set out to do originally, I have decided to stop the project here. I know there are bugs, but I do not plan to fix them.

Toy projects are fine, but I just think this should be pointed out clearly that this is not a serious, ongoing project.

Well, I think it is written rather clearly in the first blog post of the series and in the github readme, whose second line is:

> Important note: this is a hobby project, built for fun and for learning purposes.

I am not going to repeat that in every part of the series. :-)

I never said you should, but I probably would because another top level comment on this post currently says that they’re “curious how far it will progress”. Clearly it’s not obvious.
