Don't quite understand the logic behind this. Odin does not even have a Wikipedia page or a book on Amazon. It seems that anyone that would like Odin, would instead like or prefer Jai. In fact, Odin was heavily influenced by and copied from Jai.
Think that Odin only gets some shine because Jai wasn't released to the public. As of now, Jon Blow has made it way more easy for people to get beta versions of Jai. As for books on it, Ivo Balbaert (tech author of other programming books) is presently working on one that looks nearly complete.
The language that is really kind of like Go, would arguably be V lang[2]. It's a hybrid Go and C alternative. By the way, it at least has a Wikipedia page and books on Amazon about it.

- rmanolis 2y agothat is the beauty of Odin, you don't need a book. If you know Golang then you can understand Odin as well. Vlang always adds a new feature every year and I hate that because it keeps me on my toes (and I am already too old). Also, Odin's memory management is more clear to me. Jai is not even open source. How can I learn the language if I can not read its source code?
- masfoobar 2y agoActually -- I belive someone known in the Odin community is writing a book! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5BGZyz01lk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5BGZyz01lk He also have some good tutorials online... https://zylinski.se/posts/introduction-to-odin/ https://zylinski.se/posts/introduction-to-odin/ Odin may not be officially production ready (ie no v1.0 yet) but it is being used in real-world applications! I believe gingerbill, the creator of Odin.. also works for them! https://odin-lang.org/showcase/embergen/ https://odin-lang.org/showcase/embergen/
