I did! It was not even _that_ long ago. I remember fondly reading the Eiffel book by Meyer, which was lenghty but full of interest tidbits and explanations.

However, using the language itself was a different story. This must have been around 2009. There was barely any documentation online, not to speak of libraries. One project required us to use some poorly documented, barely functioning and outdated GTK bindings.

I think I lacked enough of understanding about programming to fully appreciate the language (I remember mostly contracts, as something unusual but useful).

I think I will read this book, though: if it's anything like the Eiffel one, I am sure it's very fun and didactic.
