To me it looks like a typical start-up design. It does not peek 
my interest in the 2 seconds you need to tell me that this is an 
active programming community with many participants and that I 
can join the ranks if I want to. I find the current the design to 
peak my interest because it isn't typical, but there are better 
ways to do it. I think golang and rust do that well, by luring 
you into a tutorial.

Push github links, tutorial links, download and latest activity 
with member names.

  I also find the big highly saturated logo in desaturated context 
annoying. It draws too much attention and makes the design 
unbalanced. That's what you do for branding. Put that saturation 
on where you want people to look. The download/start tour/etc 
buttons.

Thats one thing I dislike about the current frontpage. 
Wall-of-text does not make me curious. I do like the ability to 
execute D code though.
