Wonderful news Bill.
Would you be interested in releasing a self-testing version of the book example software? I think that re-writing Zadok in Scala would be an interesting exercise and then it could self-host it's own tests.
I find that example code is nice, but there's nothing like knowing that the example code is also correct! :-)
