Might be interesting, but this tone is nails on a chalkboard to me. Bailed after the third "dear reader"

After that it's much more tolerable. It does leave me wishing it spent more time exploring the differences themselves and less time setting the stage for how it's different though! I want to learn how, what, and why, or what still needs to be done and how it may or may not impact things... not just that someone wrote code and it supposedly went fast in one set of tests.
I personally prefer "dear leader"
I'm sorry to hear that it read like that to you. I was "slightly" inspired by reading "The Tale of Despereaux" to my kid and was trying to capture the tone of the book. :)
