IMO, the landing page of any programming language site should include some code samples demonstrating what makes the language different from the crowd.
I tried to link to a more interesting page though. I stumbled upon someone mentioning the language, but don't really get it. It seems to promote building DSLs, but lots of languages like Lisp & Rebol have been doing that for ages.
The home page of the Pyret programming language [1] is great in this regard. You get a feel for the language and also get to see some quick comparisons with other languages. Too bad that it is targeted to be a pedagogic language -- it seems great for that, but it also seems like it would be good as a general purpose programming language for the masses.
Yes definitely. The old racket-lang site used to be the PERFECT programming language landing page. Imo. But it had to be close to like actually perfect too.
