This new book isn't finished yet, is it? If I remember correctly [0], there were several more chapters to go, and a likely timeline of months...

  Lifetimes that depend on other lifetimes

  'a: 'b stuff: subtyping
  Higher ranked trait bounds
   
  for<'a>
  
  Needed for closures

I am forbidden by my coauthor to prognosticate about due dates, but let's just say that... well, I won't say anything ;)

I'm almost done with the first draft of chapter 15.

TRUE FACT. Everyone here knows how hard it is to estimate, we'll let everyone know once it's done instead :)

It is not yet finished, no-- Chapters 15 to the end are merely outlines at this point.
