Yes, I agree there's some missing overview docs regarding Cap'n Proto RPC.
The web page is not very detailed.

FWIW, I recently wrote an overview/tour of KJ:
https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/blob/master/kjdoc/tour.md

But that doesn't cover Cap'n Proto itself.

The protocols are the same, so you could use EzClient on the client side
and TwoPartyServer on the server. However, I would recommend avoiding the
EZ interfaces entirely. Over time I've come to regret having created them,
as they are too inflexible for many use cases.
