Agreed, this "primary color based on language" is a cute idea, but awful to actually consume. JavaScript (my most visited) is a low-contrast orange (especially when wrapped with inline-code styling).
Overall the new design does feel more slick, I think it has potential. But I wish they had focused more on readability/usefulness over "cuteness".
This site doesn't need to be "fun" — they've successfully created a useful tool. They should be proud of that, and keep building in that direction.
