Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks (SLSW2) is a great book to get exposure to new languages (obviously). The languages covered are: Lua, Factor, Elm, Elixer, Julia, miniKaren, and Idris. However, the content on each language is not exactly masterful. I often got the feeling I was reading a print version of someones blog. Although, I did really appreciate the interviews with the authors and occasionally their views on why the language could be important. If you want to learn Lua you can skip SLSW2 and go straight for Roberto Lerusalimschy's Programming in Lua. Also, if you're looking for a lightning introduction to Julia, check out the tutorial by Learn X in Y. It is pretty clear that neither Jack nor Bruce are Matlab programers ;) Finally, the book does indeed accomplish its primary goal of getting folks (me at least) excited about programing languages. Languages like Factor and miniKaren are pretty wild and a lot of fun to mess around with if for no other reason than to simply work the "wetware". And for that I give it 5 stars. Looking forward to SLSW3.

Der Vorgänger "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" gilt als Klassiker und das neuere "Seven Languages in Seven more Weeks" steht dem nichts nach. Bis auf Lua werden sechs heute eher unbekanntere Sprachen vorgestellt und deren Stärke und Konzepte heraus gearbeitet. Wer sich für Programmierung und Programmiersprachen interessiert, der braucht dieses Buch.

It could serve as an eye opener for the language fanboys and an interesting read for the polyglots as well.
