Does anyone find the example on the landing page particularly exciting? (aside from it using an rdmd shebang) Anything that makes you, as a programmer, think -- huh, that's interesting, I'll need to check that out.

It would be nice if it showcases more of D's strong parts, e.g. type inference -- so an "auto" declaration could be used, maybe assoc arrays or range stuff. Maybe even a little bit of templating seeing how that's an integral part of D and how much more natural meta code looks like as compared to many other languages.

This is a very important snippet of code as it serves as the face of the front page of the language, I suggest we put some thought into it and make it more interesting and elegant. Any objections? Any takers?

Another option is to have multiple code samples and rotate them -- that's what Ruby does.
