Name of author

I'd like to propose to add the name of the author in the file README.md for each chapter. A sample is given below. Another related proposal is to add the members of each team in the credits page. These measures would ensure the contribution of each individual is given due credit.

Chapter name

This chapter has been authored by X.

Choose License

COMMENT - @FilipeRamalho
[I think this decision should be met by ODXT as he begun the Project and else there would be a fight over which license.]

[suggestion] adding code playgrounds

It's a suggestion for adding code playgrounds to let everyone play with different codes. Let's say, repl.it links to the specific code to let the user play with it.
The project may seem a bit dead, tho I've almost done Scala and Kotlin (both of them) chapter locally, doing it in really free time as the mega-side project. I think that adding code playgrounds may add some fresh air to the project. Even I can do it, maybe when I'll add Scala and Kotlin chapters, what do you think?

TEST Discord bot

Testing bot

Brainfuck chapter

Adding chapter for Haskell

I'm taking Haskell part

Choosing agency to publish our book.

We need to find a way to publish the book once it is finished.

Ways to do it:

• Just use GitBook < Nothing (Still waiting for their API)
• https://www.softcover.io/< Generate PDF, E-Pub, etc. - also allows selling the book - professional
• https://penflip.com/ < PDF, E-Pub export - does not integrate with Github
• https://github.com/bryanbraun/franklin < Static book website - complicated to switch to
• Make own script with gimli or similar

Hacktoberfest issue

If you're interested in adding another part or improving the existing ones, feel free to make an issue and pull request using the guidance from the Contribution Guide.
PRs are welcome!
