I think that some codebases can lend themselves to be read more than others. Consider for example GNU cat[0] vs. Plan9's[1], from which one can infer the overall readability of the two projects.
In particular, codebases who are composed of small, well-isolated components, can be read one chunk at a time, like a book. But I wouldn't be surprised for most "professional grade" codebases to consist of organic, "cluttered" aggregate. Which, as you observe, aren't really suited to be read, even more so linearly.
It also depends on one's intents, which are likely narrower in a professional setting (e.g. fixing a bug, implementing a feature; refactoring being a notable exception), than in a learning setting (e.g. learning how to write idiomatic parsers in Go by studying the Go parser itself). In this last case, curiosity might push you to read the code more deeply, compare different codebases, etc.
Finally, some languages also are more prone to enforce locality than others, impacting readability. See for example Linus arguing about C being more context-free than C++ [2].

Personally I prefer INI over nearly all configuration formats.

One idea that I have been toying with lately is making use of Guile Scheme and Guile-GI, which uses the GObject Introspection framework to automatically bind to the Gtk library. I use Guix to install guile-gi, gtk, and the gobject-introspection packages.
