a book that will go unpublished, at least on paper.  In my experience, 
people usually learn the basics of a language before they buy a book 
about it.  I think the documentation that comes with the iterpreter, as 
well as this forum, is quite enough information and support until there 
are more Eu programmers.

Again, I'm not sure about this. I know I've learned many a language just 
from books. Not enough that now, years later, I can sit and code in them 
(like I would be able to had I been able to work with them), but enough 
to understand core concepts and how they differ from other languages.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if anyone tries it.
