 Working through the [Fly.io distributed systems challenge](https://fly.io/dist-sys/), in Rust.
 
-The `nebkor-maelstrom` crate is meant to be roughly equivalent to the Go Maelstrom.Node package, and
-provides serde-backed data structures for messages as well as runner for processing messages from
-the Maelstrom network. See `gg-echo/src/main.rs` for the simplest possible use of it.
+These solutions are built around the [nebkor-maelstrom](https://crates.io/crates/nebkor-maelstrom)
+crate, a dedicated Maelstrom client framework that uses no async and strives for simplicity of
+design and use. The most complicated client in this project is the `gg-kafka` client, at 158 lines;
+the entire workspace will build from clean in about five seconds.
