Well my grandfather was born years after that event, so it is kinda surprising, especially considering his profession.

That's because of the dynamic nature of JavaScript, you could do that in Swift too but that'd be a lot of dynamic dispatch for a static language...

I think he does and did practice the things from the book. I don't know about anything later than the book, though.

Good for them. Health insurance / medical care debt in EU (yes, that definitely exists) can't be handled by declaring bankruptcy, they're going to take practically all your money directly from your bank account until you die homeless.

I personally had this problem, fortunately I work in IT so I got out of it. Ever since then I am helping people in this situation - it's really not unheard of.

EU!!! EU!!! EU!!!

That famous book doesn't claim anything about his wealth, though. It's about his somewhat editorialized childhood/adolescence experience with two adults - his own father and a mentor - and the difference in their behavior and outcomes.

Could you please be more specific about "publish for sale" and "run a couple of promotions"? What does that mean - where do you publish for sale, where do you run the promotions, what's the approximate cost?

I have a lot of trouble marketing my product. I'd appreciate your insight.
