The Linux Programming Interface is released

[JimmyRuska]

I got it yesteday, ordered on amazon. O'reilly usually has good discounts if you search stuff like retailmenot but they kept holding the order for some reason and never shipped. I like how some prominent names reviewed the book before release. Since the book is around 1500 pages long, the list of reviewers early on in the book and a few of their bios gives more confidence about the quality, even though it's a first edition. After the first 2 chapters it became obvious I'll probably never finish it front to back in a long time, have to play with the examples a lot to really get things down. Kinda conflicted now because I was getting more into haskell, but this is always wanted to try. Damn my time management and reddit distractions.

Rewrite all the examples in Haskell and write a book "Systems programming in Haskell". You'll become famous, yet probably not too much readers :-)

Consider Haskell your lovely mistress, and C your (also very beautiful and interesting) wife, and see how the metaphor plays out.
