The Della-Vos group published the first draft of a book on Nim macros.

The material was written in two days, therefore it certainly contains spelling 
mistakes, grammar errors and gaps in the contents. You will find editions of 
the same material signed by individual members of the Della-Vos group, or 
signed by the collective pseudonym of the group, which is Victor Della-Vos. 
Drafts signed by an individual did not receive proofreading from the other 
members of the group. For example, the first draft says that Alina, Nyla e 
Livia play the violin. The girls corrected me, only Alina plays the violin, 
Nyla and Livia play the cello:

By the way, Victor Della-Vos was the first director of the Bauman Moscow State 
Technical University. If you check university rankings, you will discover that 
Bauman is a low ranked university. It occupies position 284 of QS, and position 
997 in Unirank. However, among the alumni of this second rate university, you 
will find names such as Sergei Korolev (first satellite, first man in space, 
first probe to the far side of the moon, the only probes to reach Venus), 
Tupolev (military and civilian aircraft engineer), Pavel Sukhoi (military and 
civilian aircraft engineer), Nikolai Zhukovsky (founder of modern 
aerodynamics), Pafnuty Chebyshev (Chebyshev polynomials), Vladmir Chelomei 
(missile engineer), Sergei Lebedev (first practical computer), Nikolai 
Dollezhal (first civilian nuclear reactor), Alexander Kemurdzhian (planetary 
rovers), Zou Jiahua (industrialization of China), Dmitri Mendeleev (periodical 
table), etc. From these examples, I don't trust in rankings.

I hope the members of this forum keep helping the Della-Vos group to improve 
the book on macros. The examples in the book will be presented to 260 students 
of Computer Science, at Ryerson University. Let us wait for their opinion.
