I feel this article makes the same mistake many technical articles make.

What does it do? After reading a large chunk of the article, I have no idea. No, wait it "enables behavior".

Maybe it's only relevant to people that are already familiar with it. But it would seem that a hacker news front page would be a great opportunity to let more people know about your product.

This isn't an announcement of a project. This is more a statement of their philosophy and what they are doing. This is targeted towards people familiar with the project.
i would recommend the homepage & docs:

and if you want a more in depth treatment, our book (free online):
