Programing books are super cool when you are sick of screens but still want to stay in touch with the code in a relax manner :)

I was just sitting on the rooftop terrace, basking in the sun, reading this. Felt like a little mini-vacation from my screen.

Let me take a break from programming and touch some grass.

well, we need more nostr front end devs who aren't slurping their tongues up the cracks of VCs, so, tally ho!

I love writing semicolons at the ends of lines. So glad that they're not terrorizing me with the Scourge of Whitespace Syntax.

yeah, tabs and vertical aligned spaces are evil. yaml is a super pain in the ass for that

go only leaves out the semicolon but it's still there in spirit, they devised a cool set of rules about it, you can't use semicolons to jam shit together in Go except when there is only two statements in a function

I hate semicolons at the ends of lines. One reason to like python. But i am not a programmer 😀

When was the book published?

I also am a fan of programming textbooks. Screen-free and (semi-)perennial

i read the original K&R back in the day, but i couldn't get access to a compiler, sadly, it was all just longing and dreams

Just compile by hand, EZ

back then i had to pay AUD$600 for an Amiga C compiler, that was about how much my father earned working at a foundry

We have an entire library of them.

Jealous. Gotta build up my library.

Had to put the childrens' books downstairs, in Oma's apartment, as we have a whole wall of reference material.

My nephew has started reading some, since they're in the Grandkids Playroom. 😊

Start 'em young!

It moves really fast. Every chapter leaves me worn out.
