Hi, Stefan. Vernon Sipple work in this project only on Tuesdays, so he is not around to answer your questions, but I can provide a temporary answer. By the way, my name is Philip, or Philippos, in Greek. The person who is writing the book is Vernon Sipple. First question: "How many Nim experts

What I was wondering about from the beginning: How many real Nim experts are in your group, and which advanced Nim projects have your group created already? I don't think that only Araq or Mratsim will be able to write a real Nim textbook, but I think that there are only a few candidates who

It was my pleasure. I think you should not expect the nim community to jump in with ready made content to expand the book. My expectation is that you will have a slow but steady response. Anyway, thank you for starting the book, and thank you for restoring it online at github. I will continue

I think Nim could really do with a new book. Recently I was browsing through O'Reilly Online Library and found Nim in Action - its topic was listed as Java. It had a total of 4 reviews. There were just two other mentions I could in their vast library. One was a mention in a book about building

Do these gardeners work with binary trees and graph forests? They're indeed quite good programmers.

Oh dear. I rather enjoyed the book, and actually referred to it a few times as I script in the wee hours before bedtime. Perhaps it will come back, I can offer language corrections, and I do enjoy gardening.

Can someone explain what this project is? This is literally the first I'm hearing of it and I'm quite puzzled about what I've read so far, do we have gardeners working on a Nim programming language book?

Hi, mikra. Let me tell why the past work was deleted. There are only three persons who write well in the Della-Vos Group, none of them are programmers. For instance, Dr. Vernon Sipple, the main writer, is a garden designer, not a programmer. Philippos Costa, the other writer, has a minor in
