If you're doing eastern style sword work, don't be tempted to get a metal sword, you'll never be able to train with it, and they are almost always poor quality. (unless you know what you're doing)

This is so wrong. Metal is fantastic. Just buy a sparring quality Jian (metal), or wood. "Keep it real" so to speak, for weight, handling, etc. Get the Rodell Sparring Jian.

Chinese Swordsmanship is undergoing a renaissance. Yes, it is dangerous. Buy protective gear (especially your eyes), and work with a teacher.

That's pretty telling for the creator and community to think that way. Nim doesn't have a great ecosystem, but this really doesn't help sell it either.

Thank you. A book like this choosing an image of "mountains" that is evocative of staring up at a naked woman's body is a stunning, poor choice.

Choices like this could alienate a large number of potential Nim programmers, and make me question the tone and nature of the community.
