No. But if you made a similar diagram for the DOM it would be similarly
complex. Objects in modern software systems have many interconnections
with other objects. Pictures are not good at portraying this. Imagine
such a diagram for Jumbo, where every property on every object got its
own arrow.
Go back to James Clark's simple API. That's a more intuitive
representation.
