I am creating a website template for a programming language. What features or characteristics do you expect to see in a programming language site? Are there sites you think make good examples from an information point of view? What features outside the core language documentation are useful? For example: success stories, who's using the language, case studies, upcoming events, links to talks, articles etc. What about the visual design? I feel visual design is important, but that doesn't mean a heavy, bloated site or one which is visually overload. Something simple but pleasant. Thoughts appreciated :-) |

A really useful programming language website would present a medium-sized project, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the language. For example, you could show how Conway's Game of Life would be written in your language -- including graphics and parallelism.
Good luck with your website and your new language!
