@pfr This new book just dropped about the history of Lisp. As a decades old C programmer it is mind expanding!

Attached: 1 image Well, today is the day. I'm finally "sorta happy enough to pull the trigger" on publishing the book I've been working on for a very long time. It's a technical history book: by a techie, for techies (although I think that between all the code samples, there is plenty of meat for "tech-adjacent" and "tech-interested" people). It tells the story of the Lisp programming language, invented by a genius called John McCarthy in 1958 and today still going strong (to the extent that many people see it as the most powerful programming language in existence). And this is a time for shameless self promotion, even if you don't plan on buying the book, please repost :-). Self-publishing is self-marketing, so there we go. If you do buy and read it, please let me know how you liked it! The book landing page, https://berksoft.ca/gol, has links to all outlets where you can buy the book,
