Considering the expected audience for this book, isn't the $75 sticker price some form of racketeering?


The expected audience for this book are hard-core hackers who work on important systems, are paid accordingly and can probably expense it on their corporate AMEX. So no, I don't think $75 is unreasonable. Maybe you're thinking of "Scala for Social Media Hipsters Trying to Code a Startup on a $10,000 YCombinator budget"


I was more thinking of the indian, malaysian or chinese college student who wants to work on important system and for which $75 is a fortune.


so according to you everybody not using C++ is a hipster ... right ?
