> Explaining whole Nim on few words is not easy

Yes -- but some of us may remember still the old nim homepage, which contained 
more serious info about nim on the first page. Current page looks really nice, 
when printed on a promotional poster. And maybe on a tiny cell phone display.

When you compare that to Julia: Julia in a nutshell is really good starting 
point, with a few small sections explaining the core concepts. And after that 
the Ecosystem header with some important application areas. (I don't think that 
the animated pictures are a real benefit, static ones would be fine.)

I don't think that homepage layout is too important and of course devs should 
waste absolutely no time on that, but layout and textual content should be of 
course not too stupid. And maybe while Nim has currently some commercial 
support, one may consider hiring someone.

PS: And I consider my critics from last year about blog posts still valid: 
Repeating the full verbose text "The Nim team is happy to announce that the 
latest release of Nim, version 0.xx.x, is now available. Nim is a systems 
programming language that focuses on performance, portability and 
expressiveness." looks not professional. Dom explained that by the fact that he 
uses the same text for reddit posts. That makes some sense, but it is boring to 
read it again and again for Nim users looking at the new release text.
