This is an important point in its own right. Could you write a simplified introduction that is only 50 pages or so? That would be helpful to many potential users, I'd think.

The problem with the introduction is that it was written when programming was only starting to be a skill "normal" people could have access to. So the text is extremely verbose and is sometimes hard to follow because of that. The gist of the document could be summarized in 50 pages.
