IMO, the landing page of any programming language site should include some code samples demonstrating what makes the language different from the crowd.

  Yes definitely. The old racket-lang site used to be the PERFECT programming language landing page. Imo. But it had to be close to like actually perfect too.

    Can you find it on archive.org and link it for reference?

      You can't take ten seconds to browse there? Seriously?

        I can’t know which previous version you are talking about. I would have to look at a lot of snapshots and still I could only guess. Only you can identify the version quickly and link it for us.

  The landing page does http://www.availlang.org/index.html http://www.availlang.org/index.html I tried to link to a more interesting page though. I stumbled upon someone mentioning the language, but don't really get it. It seems to promote building DSLs, but lots of languages like Lisp & Rebol have been doing that for ages.

    Oh! I understand your intent, but I think it unfortunately ended up confusing matters for fellow readers. Add to this the fact that the website itself is not very clear already...

  The home page of the Pyret programming language [1] is great in this regard. You get a feel for the language and also get to see some quick comparisons with other languages. Too bad that it is targeted to be a pedagogic language -- it seems great for that, but it also seems like it would be good as a general purpose programming language for the masses.
