I'd put it on a par with SICP. A very enjoyable reading.

Just saw on the wiki:

"The book presents an overview of the operations of a major commercial airport, much of which is still applicable over 40 years later. Several major and minor characters appear, illustrating the vast complexity of the airport and its operations, including customs officers, lawyers, airport police, doctors, clerks, snow clearers, et al."

Seems like it's still relevant :)

Any idea how Airport by Arthur Hailey is relevant today?

The Knight in the Panther's Skin is a Georgian medieval epic poem, written in the 12th century by Shota Rustaveli:

What about non-EU Europe, e.g. Georgia?

Thanks! It seems Erlang was not a best choice in the first place, for your project. Yes, please share the complete story when it's written.

> Erlang (being replaced with C++)

Interesting. Any back-story about this? Also, what libraries do you use as processes (and OTP) alternative (if any)?

A shameful plug from 2001, while we are at it :)

Tetris for DOS, text-mode but with colors! :)

You can actually use Perl 5 and even Python modules from Perl 6: https://github.com/niner

> Microsoft has a cross-platform offering of some sort in the works using C++11

Casablanca, but I'm not sure how active is the project nowadays.

Why do you need to link statically?

Hey, I enjoyed your Perl 6 book this summer! Thank you! :)

Pity, there are no Perl 6 jobs so far...

Playing with eComStation (OS/2) was quite enjoyable.

No mention of self-employed/freelancers/consultants.

Keep in mind, Effective Modern C++ is not a good book to learn modern C++. You learn modern C++ (11/14/17) from other resources and then come to this book to read about quirks and corner cases.

Have a local DB and sync when online.

Right, AFAIK none of the available players are advertised as official ways to run apps in production.

There are several React Native web players. One is used in their documentation site.

One would say Compilers is a multi-disciplinary field. You might enjoy some topics more than others. E.g. I personally favor stages after the parsing and before the actual code gen. :)

Yes, several years ago I found a great REMOTE C++ job. The first contact, the interview process and the actual work - every step with this company was very enjoyable. The team, the most important factor for me personally, consisted of extremely talented, friendly and simply great people from around the world. The company is defunct now, but I still have a nostalgia of working with these guys and gals.

> looking forward to open on GE, FR and US very soon

You mean DE? Because GE is the code of Georgia. You're very welcome, though... ;)

You've probably used wxUniversal. Try wxOSX/Cocoa, it wraps native controls such as NSButton. You can even get this object and use Cocoa API directly (inside appropriate #ifdef block obviously).

Does Scala.js also include similar "UI toolkit" as Elm? So no need to fall back to other frameworks.

While it doesn't have a similar commercial backing, wxWidgets is still going strong and is quite solid.

Interesting, but "pay after your sales exceed $100/month" or something similar or percent based payment would be even more interesting.

Is it possible to create a merchant account on Google Play store through your service + Estonia e-residency? (from the unsupported country).

You're lucky, seriously. Imagine you've used the debugger - you'd had to work with such persons/company.
