Why is this on the front page of Hacker News? Isn't this an advertisement?
- mordocai 10y agoIt's free online and has a github repo under MIT license as well... so yeah it's an advertisement but for something that you can get for free.
- crispytx 10y agoI thought it was just one free chapter. Maybe I was mistaken?

- dang 10y agoWork in progress is a fine thing to have on Hacker News as long as there's a way for users to check the work out. In this case there's a sample chapter, which more than clears that bar. In fact we've added "Show HN" to the title, because this is the kind of thing that Show HN is for: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- AlexeyBrin 10y agoThere is actually a link to read online on the same page https://leanpub.com/fullstacklisp/read https://leanpub.com/fullstacklisp/read
- taranw85 10y agoIsn't everything an advertisement in that case? This is something cool and technical and useful.
- theseatoms 10y agoExactly. HN itself is one big advertisement.
