    Eh, who is still using paper books to learn programming languages? Every popular language has a website with online manuals.

    Well, except C, because it’s crammed together with C++ on https://cplusplus.com/ and https://cppreference.com/

    And socks just grow organically after 3 years of coding.

      I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.

      It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.
