I think this is "just" a cleaned up version of the draft included in the previous discussion. I believe the expanded version mentioned in the aforementioned link is a longer book which grew out of this paper.
Whatever, to give some opinion: I've read all of Goldberg's stuff and always think it's very excellent. If you are into (statistical) NLP, his work certainly has "sine qua non" rating...
EDIT: Oh, but yes, you can skip this and read the book if you are that interested in this stuff and can shell out the bucks - it's more complete and better redacted. (EDIT2: By which I mean the book is more up-to-date with refs from 2017, etc., not that the writing in the linked article is poor or anything!)
Are you sure you linked to the right article? The linked article is about neural translations using seq-to-seq while TFA is about neural models for all kinds of language processing.
