Yep, what can one say.
1. Who goes to the language reference, when they want to
_learn_ a language?
It's the obvious place if you're familiar with other
programming languages. Tutorials tend to be geared toward
people who have little to no programming experience, who view
learning a new language (even in a paradigm they're used to) as
a large thing.
It seems clear that there are a variety of different types of
people who would want to learn the language. Maybe split up the
Getting Started page to a few sections, like "new programmers",
"intermediate programmers", "expert programmers".
