Actually the "Hello ..." program is not so bad to show first. After all, it is a tradition, and like other introductions in the social universe, greetings serve a purpose. "Hello world" instantly tells me, ah, "this language is a lot like C with some interesting differences".
From there quickly getting into the features that make the language unique will prevent reader boredom. Overall your site was nicely done. One aspect I particularly liked is that you described all of the syntax in the examples. I really dislike when a new language is presented without making clear what symbols mean, as if I would just automatically know.
It will be interesting to see how Myrddin comes along.
