I don't really agree with that sentiment, somewhat along the 
lines of Ola's argument. Kotlin's site has a very Atlassian feel 
to it. That's good for Kotlin, since they're aiming for and 
delivering an enterprise experience. D can't deliver that 
experience right now. The website's Hacker News-esque design fits 
perfectly with what the language can deliver.

That said, there are two things I hate about the landing page. 
The download buttons really are ugly. The three text boxes at the 
bottom ("Write Fast", "Read Fast", and "Run Fast") need to use 
three different background colors. I know nothing about web 
design but not using colors to distinguish big blocks of text has 
to violate something.
