But you will get all that from the documentation subsection?

I do think the frontpage should indicate that D is a systems 
programming language, though. I also think code samples that 
highlight main language features constructs belong on the front 
page. It should try to quickly give an enticing answer to 
questions like these:

What is this D thing google sent me to?
What does it look like?
Is this project abandoned or active?
Where can I get a trouble free install?
What is the license?
Where is the newbie tutorial?
How active is the community/where are the forums?

The second level would be answers to questions like:
Where are the specs?
Benchmarks?
Academic papers?
Bugfix responsiveness?
Etc..
