It is improving!

About the "Your code here" box: I accidentally had your page and 
dlang.org side-by-side with the same "Round floating point 
numbers" example, only yours had the inline comments stripped. I 
think the comments add a lot of value, and would advise to leave 
them in. I know this design looks bad when that box gets too 
high, and I think we would need a solution that allows examples 
with more lines without the length of the example affecting the 
layout of the page. Here are a few ideas (without knowing whether 
they would be doable or not):

   1. Box with fixed height and a slider to scroll the contents.
   2. Manually resizable box, much like the edit field in the 
online forums, with a slider when necessary.
   3. Box clipped to a fixed height (possibly with fade-out effect 
at the bottom). It could be expanding dynamically on mouse-over. 
The buttons would probably be best to have at the top.
   4. The drop-downs in the "Why D?" section work very well. 
Similarly, the box could be clipped as in 3 and expand on click. 
Encourage clicking on it by having a big "Play" button on it as 
you see on video's -- or something similar.

I hope you'll find a practical and attractive solution.
