Nice to see NASM is still going strong. I used this for a class I taught back in the 90's. The class supported both Windows and Linux (but most students used Windows) and NASM supported both and was free.

I ended up creating my own free online textbook for the course. It's sorta out of date now since it was for 32-bit processors.

I've used nasm in industry as late as 4 years ago to assemble some bootloader code. It's great.
NASM is used in Tiano Core / EDK2 - "framework" for UEFI development

Maybe out of date for the desktop, but 32-bit systems continue to be relevant in embedded systems.
Still in use academically too - we used it in my compilers class last year.
Could you provide a link to the book?
Are you still working on the book? After digging old stuffs from university days (more than 1 decade), I found the old unfinished Indonesian translation. Perhaps I can finish it.
No, I'm not actively working on it. If I ever find the time, I might update it to 64-bit.
