Just started looking at it, thanks for sharing.

I already like his style of talking.

Examples:

>Much terser than the C version right?

>This little assembler crash course gives us a better understanding of what is compiled by the C compiler, but not how it compiles it. We don't know how it's ran either. To know that, we'd have to dig through software that weighs millions of lines of code. Maybe you'd have the patience to do it, I don't, so let's continue tumbling down the rabbit hole. We'll go bare metal and then build an operating system of our own, with a C compiler of our own. It's simpler this way.

>What’s a linker? Aw, forget about it, it’s another piece of overcomplicated software that has convinced the world that it’s essential. We won’t need one in what’s coming.

Yes, he's great! More character and joking around in technical writing. Donald Knuth, Ketman, Starting Forth, Land of Lisp, probably lots of others I'm forgetting... it can be done, people!

The Crafting Interpreters book author is another one, at least mildly. I've not read the book fully yet, but have skimmed the first chapter or so.

Yes, absolutely, agreed! I read a couple chapters too. And another one I forgot earlier is Janet for Mortals.
