How to make better landing page -> http://www.rust-lang.org/ http://www.rust-lang.org/
- JadeNB 12y agoSurely it's unfair to expect the GitHub page for a language, much less some deep-linked sub-page of it, to be a professional landing page? The page linked from the post, iolanguage.org, is (intentionally) minimalist, in the spirit of the language, but still a reasonably good landing page. (Also, as near as I can tell, although it contains a link to GitHub, under 'source' where one would expect, it contains no direct link to the page that you provide.)
- ryanmk 12y agoI agree with the parent. Upon encountering the page, my first feeling is that this is one of THOSE landing pages. Of course, I know this is just me bringing my biases to the thing, but that's the way it is.
- lukasm 12y agoI don't expect "professionalism" or beautiful design, but give me the good stuff first (use cases, samples).
- JadeNB 12y agoI didn't mean to argue about the virtue of the actual landing page (it doesn't 'sell' the language, but I'm fine with that), only of tying your complaint to a GitHub page rather than the actual landing page. (Was it maybe an errant cut-and-paste?)
- draegtun 12y agoOnly one click away from landing page is the Io Programming Guide. I've always thought it was a well written introduction to Io - http://iolanguage.org/scm/io/docs/IoGuide.html http://iolanguage.org/scm/io/docs/IoGuide.html
