I really like your writing style - it's a little verbose in places. The paragraphs detailing what each line number does would be easier just as pictures / diagrams with arrows to the source code sections. Likewise quite a lot of this could be made mode succinct, which would aid readability.
Along with that, it's really hard for me to get used to right-hand line numbers. Shoving them along the left hand side like most editors would be much much much easier to read for me, at least.
That said, I do enjoy your writing and find it quite readable.
- steveklabnik 12y agoThanks! It is a bit verbose, that's what I was going with with this version. You have to explore the extremes before finding a comfortable medium, you know? I do agree better diagrams would help, for sure. And yeah, the right hand numbers were kind of a compromise: they kept the exercises compileable without needing to mess with markup stuff, which is just a weakness of markdown :/
