I agree, it's hard to choose from so many awesome domains.


That index[x] was used in one of my favorite IOCCC one-liners.

Easier to make a whole society paperless than fix the printers.


I've been waiting for a book on C from No Starch Press, so I'm really excited for this one.

This might not be too deep a question on the C language in regards to this book, but I've been wondering, why did you decide to have an eldritch horror as the book's cover?


It's a longish story, but people do seem to like the cover. We started equating the idea of C == Sea, so we had some early drawings of the robot riding various undersea creatures including a giant squid. I thought that looked overly phallic, so I suggested the robot ride Cthulhu instead, an unofficial mascot of NCC Group.


I like how Cthulhu is shown as kind of a guide for the robot.

The C==Sea brings to mind the book Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets.


Deep c secrets, a classic.


Wait, they put Cthulhu on the cover of a programming book? I'm buying it.

I once saw a video of someone describing this, can't for the life of me find it again.


Was expecting this to be Mario Teaches HTML.


Reminds me of a blog post of mine[1].

Funny that I say C is not a subset, while this says C++ not a superset.

But mine doesn't go too deep, don't reference any standards.

I love things that explore dark corners of languages like this, look forward to digging deeper.

Also, I like the web design, kinda cyberpunk.

Being told my web design is kinda cyberpunk is a great compliment, thank you ^_^ I like the banner image on yours.


darn, was hoping this was for the protocol


I've stumbled uppon it recently (significant active use was before my time) and I'm in love with its simplicity compared with modern formats. I was hoping for something to get me into the protocol as well.


Making gopher even faster is probably a challenge worth a talk :)
