Very cool. My first reaction was that there wouldn't be much of a market for this, but after reading through the thread you linked to it's clear there is.

Looking forward to seeing the final product.

It's not about market, although I'll be selling a physical copy. The digital will be free, as per Zed's example.

I care deeply about programming, and about preventing software from turning into a mass cargo-cult profession. I want more systems-knowledgeable people out there who understand how things are and could be built.
