In the past decade there has been so many startups with
programming frameworks that go bust and leave the developers
with nothing so I think it is important that the site
communicate "community". They tend to stick around longer.
It is usually a good idea to take a look at the competing
sites. This is because:
1. visitors are likely to be familiar with one of those
2. they might have figured out something that works
3. you want to do at least what they do, but better
http://www.rust-lang.org/
http://golang.org/
https://www.python.org/
https://www.dartlang.org/
etc.
I really like rust-lang.org, I was thinking of using it as a base
for design but decided against it because I don't want dlang.org
to be accused of ripping of rust-lang.org.
golang.org is not really readable in my opinion. There is not
enough distinction between page components (there is no area on
that design that catches your eye as soon as you look at page).
python.org is one of my favorite websites, they really did good
job.
dartlang.org is nice, cleanly designed website. It reminds me of
a website of programming framework produced by some startup :)
I also like ruby-lang.org and recently-redesigned php.net
