tex.web – Version 3.141592653
I agree with this: I found it very hard, at least until I got a good sense of the overall structure and conventions etc, to be able to understand just one part and ignore the rest.
On the other hand, ironically, Knuth recommended getting familiar with the program by picking up one particular part and "navigating" the program to study just that part. (See https://youtu.be/D1jhVMx5lLo?t=4103 at 1:08:25, transcribed a bit at https://shreevatsa.net/tex/program/videos/s04/) He seems to find using the index (at the back of the book, and on each two-page spread in the book) to be a really convenient way of "navigate" the program, and he thinks that one of the convenient things about the "web" format is that you can explore it the way you want. This is really strange (to us) as the affordances we're used to from IDEs / code browsers etc are really not there, but it makes a bit of sense when you consider that books are Knuth's life, and he must find things like flipping pages with a bookmark in the index page at the back of the book etc really second-nature.
(BTW if you know someone who has the super-obscure interest in making WEB programs actually navigable with hyperlinks etc, do consider https://github.com/shreevatsa/webWEB/discussions or if you know some better way of finding such people let me know :P)
