This is a great idea. The book is actually subscription-based and will be updated regularly. This could be included in a future version. You can submit a feature request on the GitHub repo of the book to capture it (https://github.com/theembeddedrustacean/ser-std).

Though to your point, in Rust, achieving what you mentioned is really streamlined devoid of headache. Meaning, all you need to do is find a driver crate on crates.io, include it in your toml configuration file. Then all abstractions are available.

Cool if this is easy — Idk why this was my perception — your book could help clearing up such misconceptions by showing that it is in fact not that hard.
