We had a short thread on LLPSI 7 months ago, so I can't just post it directly, but I just learned about this and it is blowing the roof of my brain off and wanted to share it here:

This book teaches Latin, but strictly from example source code. It just drops you in and like a minute later you're reading a paragraph in Latin. It's mindbending.
(I've got 4 years of Jesuit school Latin, but when I told the Latin scholar on our team that all I remembered was "nauta sumus", he had to correct me "nautae sumus", so I don't even have that. I don't think any previous Latin matters here, which is what makes this approach so cool).
This is one of the HN-iest books I've ever seen.
