I agree that we need to go beyond 'Racket is a programming language'
as cute as it may be.
I am surprised Eli objected to your proposed sentence, because it is
a good, solid one-sentence description.
Then again, I suspect all of us know that Racket is a chameleon and

I like the idea too, but I think we should bring more content from
other parts of the site to the front page. The Ruby home page
[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/] has most of our participate section
on the front page, for example. The Clojure home page
[http://clojure.org/] does a nice job with
Asumu, thanks for the effort.
I like the width of the Ruby and Clojure pages -- space on each side is good.
I really like the highlighting of the sample code on the Ruby page.
I prefer our organization of sample code, and I wish we could run some of these
in Danny's compiler.

When we decided to put a twitter feed on the rabbitmq.com homepage, we

Asumu, it seems like you're on a good track, but after you get the
layout how you like it in your browser, I don't envy you the
