Thank you very much for doing this! I very much appreciate the hard work you put 
into it.

For comparison, here are some other language front doors:

Swift: https://developer.apple.com/swift/

Go: https://golang.org/

Rust: http://www.rust-lang.org/

C++: http://www.cplusplus.com/

C#: doesn't seem to have one!

Java: http://java.com/en/

Haskell: https://www.haskell.org/

Python: https://www.python.org/

Php: http://php.net/

Objective C: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ProgrammingWithObjectiveC/Introduction/Introduction.html

Typescript: http://www.typescriptlang.org/

Perl: https://www.perl.org/

Ruby: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

Fortran: http://www.fortran.com/

Dart: https://www.dartlang.org/

The Dart one is probably most similar to this proposal. But there definitely is 
a trend among these sites - a menu across the top, lots of white space, lots of 
scrolling. I can't say I'm a fan, but it's undeniable what people consider 
modern. (I like the older style, as it is denser and easier to navigate.)
