This won't make the language any better.
It will make the language more approachable for new comers.
The Go website is _almost_ as bare bones as it gets. It functions fine and we are familiar with it.
But compared to say Python, the site looks pretty amateur. If you were to judge a language by its website, I'd say Python looks better.
The new branding can lead the way to a more put together presentation, and that could be good for the growth of the community.
- superbaconman 8y agoI don't care so much about the way a sight looks so long as it works well. Both the go and python sites work well for me, thus they're models in my mind for well documented languages.

Since we are making significant changes, we are also taking this opportunity to update our website infrastructure to support internationalization and multilingual to better serve our global community. The migration will happen in stages over the next few months starting with this blog.
- everybodyknows 8y agoGo's online documentation is the best I've ever seen for a language. You can still hear Rob Pike's diction in the core functionality sections -- precise as a scalpel. Now a "design agency" has their claws into it. My own feelings are nausea, and fear.
