Mara Bos🦀📕 Rust Atomics and Locks is now available as ebook! 🎉
Pre-ordered printed copies should start shipping in a few weeks. ⌛️
I'm very pleased I got the timing just right to include this very subtle joke about out-of-order execution and missing happens-before relationships.
Jonathan ‘theJPster’ Pallant@Mara *chefs kiss*
That is superb.
That is superb.
Christoph@Mara I stumbled upon this too in your book! I thought it was maybe due to it being a pre-release (i.e. you were timing it for release)
Now that I realize it's a joke, it's very funny.
Congratulations on your book! While I've only started, I'd like to say that it reads very well and is very relevant. And for me you've hit just the right level of difficulty.
Hazel Weakly@Mara this is amazing 😍
Love the joke (and the book!)
mirabilos@Mara on the other hand, though, this is one of the best reasons to stay clear off Rust as a whole

@Naughtylus some of my C code compiles on pre-1990s compilers and works well…
@mirabilos Oh okay you're shaming rust's backward-compatibility policy, gotcha.
I thought you were actually replying to the toot
Gustavo Muenz@mirabilos @Naughtylus why would you compile on a 1990 compiler?
@gustavomuenz @Naughtylus because I like porting my shell to weird systems, such as ULTRIX
Greg Stoll 🌈@Mara Congratulations!!
Sam@Mara hmm, I can even preorder it from Standaard boekhandel. I first thought I would buy the ebook, but now I'm doubting.

Dr. Sobek@Mara How likely is that book to get updates ? Would those propagate to the ebook in addition to the website if any ? (Trying to decide whether to grab a print, ebook, or use the live website).
Alexander Suero@Mara Congratulations 
Mattias Eriksson 🚵♂️🦀@Mara Oh, and just in time for Christmas!
Colin Finck@Mara Congratulations, especially for that perfect cover image! That'll likely be the first printed Rust book I'll ever get :)
@Mara waiting for my copy!
Fletcher Nichol@Mara I’m very excited to dig into this, thank you for writing and sharing!
Andrii Zymohliad 🇺🇦🇪🇪🦀@Mara Congrats! Looking forward to read it. I love that well-formatted epub is available too, so that I can easily read it with dark theme and nothing breaks.
