@timo@mastodon.online I've got it on my screen, but at the speed I will likely be going I'm not sure I will get far enough in time. Plus, in the past few years I've found the adventofcode to not be too great for learning/trying a new language. The puzzles themselves are a bit too demanding for me to enjoy while also having to think about my programming language instead of relying on muscle memory.

@zrail@hachyderm.io Yupp, I think it avoids a lot of the sillier fights I'm regularly seeing in the C++ community.

Well, I'm coming from a C and C++ background, so I'm used to painful error handling. ;-)

Starting to get back into programming outside of work again, and considering that a lot of the software I'm running in my Homelab is written in Go, I chose to have another look at that.

I'm coming to really enjoy the Horus Heresy, and in particular this installment. It's nice to see the PoV from a different legion, with different characters taking central stage, but still progressing the the same story.

I also enjoyed that we got a peek into Naval warfare in the Warhammer 40k universe. I hope that there's going to be at least a few proper space battles in the future - and ones between actual ships, and not just "okay, and here is the typical Astartes battle, but now aboard a starship during a boarding action".

My favourite among the Horus Heresy books up to now, as the Heresy has now kicked off and the backroom plotting is at least somewhat abetting towards the middle of this one.

Speaking for the overall series, I was a bit worried how having multiple authors writing the same story with the same main characters would turn out, but I have to say that my worries were misplaced. There's no weird "Change of Character" for the main characters between the different authors.
