It's way too cheesy in my opinion. Reads like a desperate sales pitch.
Also, too much text - right now it looks like an unappealing wall of text.
Also, ads? Really? Are we so cheap that we can't even afford web hosting
without annoying the user with often embarrassingly-irrelevant
advertisements?
Compare with other programming language websites:
http://golang.org/
Very nice, but there is not really much more to say about Go (on a front
page), because it is so small.
http://www.scala-lang.org/
I did not like this at all when I was first looking for information
about Scala.
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/
It says "I (love|*love*) ruby" six times in a row. Cheesy enough =).
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/fsharp/
Same problem as scala-lang.org. Not enough interesting information/too
much effort to get at it.
