Sorry for the nitpick, but a typo in this particular sentence was too good to pass up.

Also the “tf” in Printf in the example is syntax highlighted wrong.

Admittedly, I’d rather a development team spend more time and attention on their app than their landing page, but they should probably fix that since it kinda sticks out. Hopefully they’ll see these comments.

The example before shows the author typing Prin with autocompletion. Maybe that was the original intent? I think that context is lost though and it would be better to just highlight the entire thing as you suggest.
From the screenshot, it looks like the intention is that "Prin" has been typed by the user and "tf" is a suggestion, so it makes sense that "tf" would be gray and "Prin" would be green. (Of course, that could be made more clear.)
Same thought here. Simply omitting a cursor seems to be the most disorienting part.
I swear it makes sense when you us it! But, the cursor is there. "Prin" before the insertion point, and the autocomplete suggestion of "t(<placeholder>)" comes after.
Makes sense! The image we're referring to is the one for the "Built for macOS" section, not the full screenshot at the top of the page. That one doesn't have a cursor in it.

Oh man I'm an idiot. Yes. You've all figured it out. Cursor there would indeed make sense. Will fix!
