It perfectly matches up with a 30 minute talk that I gave yesterday. It's meant to be read sequentially not as a reference. It's helped a lot of people already, and this format has worked in the past: the super tiny compiler has been turned into interactive tutorials and even recommended by professors. People love the format and I think it connects with people better.

But then again I don't know why you thought your opinion mattered if you didn't even read it. I guess that is the quality feedback I do expect from Hacker News commentors though.
