Thank you very much! It should be even better with Luís's edits and many other improvements, which are not available online yet.

I have the first copy! It is big: :)

It should be available in a few weeks now after Luís and İzgi (the cover designer) have a chance to review their copies.

Looks awesome :) I think it is going to be a great addition to the D bookshelf.

Thanks! I have pre-ordered your book though I'm currently playing with Rust and Go.

The performance of D is pulling me back all the time. So I'll buy and read every single D book out there! :)

Will this book be available in hardcopy ?

Do you have a planned date for publication ?

Any chance I could be added to the reviewers for this book?
English is my primary language and I use vibe.d about 25 work hours a week.
