This site is a bit confusing at first, originally I thought they were modular libraries for writing general software.

But it seems to be a collection of tools specifically for generating computational art/design. Still impressive and useful though!

Maybe I mentioned Compdes a bit too often... /shrug

From this comment and others it seems maybe not many people are familiar with the meaning of the term: Design through/by computational means, incl. procedural, generative, evolutionary approaches...

Having said this, these libraries are closer to general purpose computing, but there's somewhat of a bias in terms of topics and data structures towards geometry, graphics, data transformations, visualization etc.

If you talked about creative computing[0] I would have understood earlier. Or made comparisons with Processing or SuperCollider.

Creative computing is just a subset of computational design though and wouldn't have sufficed... also see my answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25263818

Yes, it's a subset, but you should nonetheless talk about creative computing in the landing page. And also about other stuff!
