That's the design in the form of a single page website running
on my Linode. The source is available here.

I definitely like it. It scales fairly nicely, and works on high
DPI screens very nicely thanks to the lack of non-svg images
(excluding the Twitter bar which is somewhat lower quality
because it uses low-res pngs for avatars). If the logo gets
replaced, I'd like to see it remain SVG.
One thing that's a bit broken is that "Modern convenience.
Modelling power. Native efficiency." wraps to put "efficiency."
on a different line. Perhaps the text should be made smaller
there. Another thing that I'd like to see is a much more
prominent download button. It's definitely easier to find with
this redesign, but a prominent download button is one of the most
important things when you're trying to get someone to try
something, right after a useful code sample (ideally with the
mentioned REPL).
