I was disappointed at the lack of really good, in depth Chapel tutorials that weren't also the spec, so I wrote my own.
Looking for feedback on what could make this a better read.
Full disclosure: I am currently an intern with the Chapel team at Cray, and I am no shame trying to sell this open source language to the masses. However this is not a product of the internship; one can get surprisingly bored in Seattle, and I wrote this on unoccupied weekends.
It's easy enough to skip ahead. I like that it doesn't leave any of that out; it's not so tedious that you can't scan for interesting bits, with the rest as reference material. Maybe I am biased from reading on a laptop where scrolling and scanning is easy?

Probably. I first looked at the page on a tablet, where the viewport is much smaller and so scanning/skimming is much harder. I later got back to the page on a laptop, and I scrolled past uninteresting parts without any problems.
One thing I think would be good on learnxinyminutes is an ability to link to a specific line. Is it possible and I just missed it?
