For me it was, and when I looked at rust, I was encouraged and aided by their
book.
I think a good, well written book by the core team has a lot of good statements
about the maturity and stability of the eco system.
I also read somewhere on here that the APIs in the book will be supported
If you really think that the book is still a good resource for learning Nim,
then we may consider buying back the rights from Manning (and Dom), so that at
least PDF version becomes freely available. Some people did such a rebuy, for
example Gunnar Wrobel with his German Gentoo book, when the
I’ll have a think over the next week or so and put some thoughts together.
I suspect the Achilles Heel will be getting the message that there is possible
help out there. Maybe a sticky forum post, or a link on the FAQ?
BTW, this book should be front and centre on the main tool site as it is an

This is a really good idea and I would love to do this, but the logistics seem
like a PITA. I have been planning to create a book give away
that may be true, but the question is where you get that BTC.
You can still use BTC at 15...
@dom96 deserves payment because it is an awesome resource and it requires
untold effort to produce a book.
It is also a shame that someone is denied access because of their situation.
The assumption we should challenge is that the funds must be provided by the
recipient!
What do you think of
Some public libraries take recommendations for what books to purchase, and do
free inter-library book shipping on request. Doesn't hurt to ask them.

It brings together a good bunch of practical applications and
In the end "Nim in Action" is very, very valuable, because every documentation

Sorry. I didn't leak it. I just happen to notice its there.
Two chapters are available for free on
[http://book.picheta.me](http://book.picheta.me)/ for what it's worth.
> Nim in Action is geared more towards Web Development anyway.
I wouldn't say that. Only one chapter focuses on web development.
Use this:
[https://narimiran.github.io/nim-basics](https://narimiran.github.io/nim-basics)/
It's free and it already covers most of Nim (except for metaprogramming and
generics, but if you're interested in game development (judging by your
previous posts) you won't be needing those).

Of course I would like to support you, but I'm only 15 years old.
