First chapter is good. It introduces the main concepts gently. I would have mentioned compile times, since it is one of the main draws to Go, but other than that I think the first chapter is good.
Even though I write Nim code, I still bought the book, but more so for the later chapters:
8. INTERFACING WITH OTHER LANGUAGES
9. METAPROGRAMMING
10. DIRECT HARDWARE CONTROL
Since I don't have very much experience there. Also maybe a chapter on debugging might help, especially for people that are coming from Python or Ruby.
Best of luck with the rest of the writing!
- dom96 11y agoThank you for reading and posting feedback! I think you're right, Nim compile times are fast and deserve to be mentioned. Will make a note to add this. Debugging will be a part of Chapter 5. But I will make a note about addressing people coming from Python and Ruby. Thanks again!
