Having real code on display is very useful to people who want to "cut to the chase", so upon hearing about a programming language, people can immediately see what it looks like. Take the latest "hot language", Ceylon... well, that's a bad example unless you find the Wikipedia page or the now well-publicised slide deck, so let's take the somewhat similarly motivated Fantom language instead... http://fantom.org/ One can immediately discard it or investigate it further upon looking at the snippet and realising that it looks a simplified, statically-typed Java-like language. Actually, that's not a bad project page for people who want concentrated facts. Maybe some inspiration can be drawn from it.
