A little bit of a tangent: I love the homepage. It includes everything I need to know about the language in a single page. Features, documentation with code examples and links between sections. And everything is one ctrl+f away.
- crazygringo 2y agoFunny, I'm the exact opposite. It's driving me mad. Why do I have to scroll down 95% of the way to see some simple examples, when that's the first thing I'm interested in? Why does it start with a list of "features" of like 25 unorganized bullet points? Surely the long quotation about European kings belongs in some "history" or "origin" section, rather than the first thing I need to read, when I'm just trying to figure out if this is a) open-source, b) for which operating systems, c) actively maintained, and d) for quick calculations or complicated modeling? Why do I have to scroll down a couple of page lengths just to get to the table of contents? This is basically one of the worst landing pages for a project I've ever seen. It completely violates the basic principles of putting the most important information at the top, of organizing content hierarchically (don't ever just put 25 bullets in a row), and trying to show rather than tell whenever possible.
