I agree.

If you are adept at picking up programming languages, you can just start
with this one, since it does have an introduction to the language in the
early parts of the book. But for some people, the terse introduction is
a bit too barebones. It introduces the language but it isn't a
tutorial, so for a lot of people this would make a better second book.
