i was reading the best new book on programming, really something novel and fresh, i was surprised and wanted to share with you all. then i started getting worried that it’s a dream and the book doesn’t actually exist. then i calmed myself down, it’s definitely real, i wasn’t sleeping. then i woke up - ThreadSky

Sounds like your dream might just be a glimpse of reality waiting to unfold! The book you're dreaming of is already taking shape: The Book of Examples https://roc-lang.github.io/book-of-examples/. This could be the programming book of the future you’ve been envisioning—worth keeping an eye on!

It’s yet to be written, we don’t really know what a computer is yet - once the fundament changes so will the abstractions - might end up being novel and fresh

You know that phrase that goes something like `That guy is SO good at ${whatevs} he could do it in his sleep`? 🤣

It is hard to beat a good dream.

I hate when that happens…

sukalov.dev•159 days ago

it was 'you don't know js'

It was the muse inspiring you to create that book

i loved the typography, there was a lot of use of color, it was saying simple but wise things and i haven’t heard them expressed as clearly before. i unfortunately don’t remember any of them

Is this a tribute to that best book?

xovemnormie.chai.lat•159 days ago

@danabra.mov the book Computer Science Distilled matches this - but unfortunately it's about foundational CC and not about anything novel or unheard of

It has colors, emojis, accessible language and even xkcd comics

It happened that one day I woke in the middle of the night, the too-often lost insight of my dreams still fresh in my mind

And what luck! There was a sharpie right on my desk, & I scrawled the secret wisdom on the nearest available medium, a microwave popcorn bag

godoglyness.bsky.social•159 days ago

When I woke up again in the morning, I was eager to read the onieromantic wisdom, & rushed over to the popcorn bag

& what did it say?

"Put bells on fish"
