The important features for a programming language main page to me are:
* Clean
* Code samples
* browser shell / try it editor (good in Getting started page, best in the main page)
* Useful links (installation, documentation, syntax reference above all)
Some thoughts about the sites mentioned in the article:
* F# http://fsharp.org/ http://fsharp.org/ : Good a clean and useful list of links Bad hard to find code samples; Try F# is not available for my system (Linux) and it's not clear why
* Ruby http://ruby-lang.org/ http://ruby-lang.org/ : I like it, nothing to add
* Python https://www.python.org/ https://www.python.org/ : Good code examples are runnable inside an interactive shell... Bad they are not, their Interactive Shell link opens a shell which doesn't belong to the example
* Rust http://www.rust-lang.org/ http://www.rust-lang.org/ : Good maybe my preferred site since it is the cleanest one Bad no browser shell
* OCaml http://ocaml.org/ http://ocaml.org/ : I like it, nothing to add
* Go http://golang.org/ http://golang.org/ : I like it, very pragmatic
* Perl http://www.perl.org/ http://www.perl.org/ : Good useful links Bad no code samples, no browser shell, a bit messy
* Scala http://scala-lang.org/ http://scala-lang.org/ : Good good looking Bad no code samples, no browser shell
* Clojure http://clojure.org/ http://clojure.org/ : Good clean Bad no code samples
