I actually like the new website. I think the primary barrier to Rust adoption now is something along the lines of "my organization doesn't use it"—this website is clearly geared toward persuading CTOs or administrators.

It's a sign of the strength of the Rust community that they feel they no longer need to persuade developers. It implies that many developers have already heard about and are interested in Rust, but need higher-ups to approve using it.

Well said. As a programmer I prefer the old site, however you bring up a good point. The new site is a lot better for people in management to see that Rust is used by other large companies and to not immediately discredit it.

Then why not make two sites?

management.rust-lang.org and rust-lang.org

The new subtitle "The programming language that empowers everyone to become a systems programmer" is a perfect example of that.

Any C programmer can see it's factually false, but it could definitely suggest to a C-level exec that they'll have an easier time hiring in the future if they use this language.

I also appreciate and like the new site.

I love the use of color, it's very dynamic and "fun", and the typography is nice in my opinion as well. It's more engaging to me, at least.
