I just stumbled across this. It’s an absolute beginning programmer’s  
tutorial (for programming and ruby), supposedly in the style of A  
Little Lisper (or A Little Schemer)(I haven’t read either). Anyhow, I  
have never seen it referenced anywhere.

Which is bad, because it was cool.

when I saw it in google reader.

…check check check… Ah, I see!  
I am in the yahoo group for the book and did not receive any update  
in the last 4 years, that was my explanation of why it is not mentioned  
often in this list 🙂

But is great to know that Brian is thinking of starting to work on  
it again, I hope he does.
