I'll keep the eBook and donate the | physical book to a library. | krasin wrote: | There's a free ebook by a different author, Dr. Stefan | Salewski, "Computer Programming with the Nim Programming | Language": https://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html | ternaryoperator wrote: | Looking at the excerpt on Amazon, the Acknowledgments part of the | preface lists numerous people and concludes with: "This book | would be as good as it is without your help." The author might | want to fix that. | sbelskie wrote: | I like to think the author is thanking them for their efforts | despite said efforts having produced nothing of value. | LastMuel wrote: | This appears to have been fixed in the Amazon page I just | pulled up. | | If so, that was a quick edit. | ternaryoperator wrote: | It's still there, at least on Amazon.com. I haven't checked | other Amazon sites. | [deleted] | cb321 wrote: | For HN folk, it may not be so obvious from the blog post, but the | author of this book is the Nim originator/technical lead/primary | author to this day { since before 2008 publicly and I believe | 2005..2006 privately }. | davidkunz wrote: | I absolutely hate Nim for spoiling pretty much all other | programming languages for me. I wish it gained more traction. | Congratulations on your book and keep up the great work, Araq. | You did an outstanding job with Nim and I wish you all the best! ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-06-29 23:00 UTC)
