I always find it incredibly annoying when I don't see the syntax of a 
language on its homepage. You shouldn't have to scroll down to see it. 
Also, the example that is there is terrible and represents the state of 
an old D1, it needs updating to use cool D2 features like CTFE and 
std.parallelism. I'd avoid templates and __traits() and other more 
advanced features, we don't want to put people off by putting too much 
on their plate!

Also, a lot of the links on there link to digitalmars.com still.
