The key features state that the language is "fast" and "occupies less memory". Maybe provide some benchmarks/comparisons? Also, more examples would be helpful.

If I look at the landing page from the perspective of someone who either wants to use the language or contribute to it, there just isn't enough compelling information yet. More examples demonstrating that the syntax could be a nice alternative to python or c would help catch someone's eye.

The language is not complete. those features are our goal
It's better to describe them as goals instead of features.

Somewhat related: Are you planning to support monkey patching? In some cases it's a nice feature. In some cases it's a nightmare. Anyway, IIRC it's very difficult to write a compiler that produces fast code and also support monkey patching.
