I've said similar elsewhere.
The existing documentation isn't welcoming to those new to Nim. I've read the freebie first chapter of Dom's book and it seemed very promising and I wanted to read more. However $40 for an ebook is ridiculous. I can't afford to make that kind of outlay just to see whether or not an obscure language with very little traction is worth pursuing.
I think the best solution would be for the Nim foundation to use some of that bug bounty money to buy the rights to make Dom's book freely available on The official site.
- morbidhawk 10y agoLooking at this month's bounty goal only at $2500, I don't think they are raising enough money to justify closing off a revenue stream. I don't have experience in the OSS space but I've seen similar complaints in app development. People expect a $10 app to be $1 or less but don't realize that the $ being brought in doesn't even break even for development costs.
