Russ Olsen writing a book would be great, and I think that elixir resembles Ruby only superficially, but is much more similar to clojure (without parenthesis).

It’s his writing style that I love (and what I was trying to highlight here, that book authors very often get a following by those who their work resonates with 
) (PS in case you didn’t know, Russ has been in to Elixir for some time - I wouldn’t dream of asking a non-Elixirist to write an Elixir book 
)

Good to know that he is on Elixir. I hope some good news about some always high quality book from him.

You guys are making me blush.
I certainly agree that Elixir sometimes seems like a cross between Ruby and Clojure, which is one of the reasons I’m interested in it.

Just reading Elixir in Action now - and so far I think it’s really great. Here is a link to a nice post from the author which outlines how Elixir/Erlang have changed a little since the book was written - good to have a look at it if you’re reading the book…

I’m happy to inform you that Manning and I have reached an agreement for the second edition. The new version will be a mechanical update addressing the obsolete stuff (such as HashDict), and explaining some new features (e.g. the with special form and the Registry).
I also have some ideas for expanding the book (covering some additional topics, and maybe doing some minor restructuring), but this will require much more work, so it will be done in some subsequent edition, possibly combined with a more significant update (e.g. to Elixir 2.0).
Timewise, I’m currently tied up in prepping a workshop and a talk, so I’ll start working on this beginning November. I expect to be finished somewhere in the 2nd quarter of 2018.

I saw your video here Sasa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO4_Wlq8JeI&t=318s - Thanks to @kokolegorille
For this reason alone I’m going to buy the book, I’m sure I’m going to pick up some gnarly tricks from your book.
Thanks!
