I must have been taking crazy pills, because everyone else 
seems to
love it, but I don't like the homepage. I
have
to
scroll
down
way
too
much
to
actually
see
some
content.
Also, I can't make sense of the order of things.

I know this is what-everybody-else-is-doing, and I don't like 
on other
sites either.

+1. I didn't like it either. But then again, the majority of 
people
rarely agree with me, so I didn't say anything. But obviously 
I'm not
alone in disliking this spaced-out layout.

I don't like the front page either, but the doc view isn't so 
bad.

You're not alone gents. I like some parts and content pages 
aren't too bad, but the homepage is completely impractical. It 
feels like I'm emulating a giant phone. The problem with "mobile 
first" design is the desktop often gets left behind. This may not 
be a problem for sites that are primarily viewed on phones, but I 
don't think that will be the case for dlang any time soon.
