Move To and Copy To have existed since at least XP: http://i.imgur.com/NsPGD.png

But they had to be put there by the user. :)

I took a look but D -> DTrace, not the D I thought it would be. :)

Hah, it even keeps the cursor from blinking. I wonder if it's hardcoded or if it actually picked that up from my system settings.

I've never done Javascript before (although I do or did Python/C/C++/D/Pascal/AHK), this will be interesting. Great job!

Why's it not a good book? And who are the bigger groups that recommend against DiP3?
This looks great!

I would be worried to use that name though.

I just found about this page yesterday while doing a google search for various compiler books and posted it to reddit in /r/compilers, looks like it's now spreading. I'm really interested if anyone has read this book yet. I've just started and am currently reading Chapter 3.

It seems as if nobody seems to recommend this book, perhaps it just wasn't noticed before? Thanks for posting to hn.
