I will be getting one, because I loved the book so very much. It helped me tremendously when I was implementing my own little language.

I wish I would've waited to buy that, print would've been much better!

Really? I find ebooks side by side a terminal a much more efficient way of going through a text like this

I didn't see it anywhere, but does the print version come with the PDF version too?

I agree, but sometimes it's nice to unplug and just look through books.

Author here. Sadly, I can't offer digital+print bundles. I sell the digital version through Gumroad and the paperback through createspace, so I don't have to worry about printing/shipping. That makes it very easy for me to sell a paperback version, but also that much harder to offer discounts or bundles or anything, if you already purchased the eBook.

It makes me really happy to read that. Not because you want to buy two editions, but because you apparently enjoyed the book a lot :)

Very timely! I'm in the early stages of writing a custom interpreter in Go, so this is perfect for me.

It is becoming quite popular (or maybe it was always the case?) that someone learning some topic and at the same time writing a book about it. Interesting how it affects the quality of the content (versus books authored by persons with expertise in given topics).
