What I'd *really* like to see is a bunch of links on the front page leading to pages that describe the main differences between Haskell and some other language (C, Python, Java, C#, F#, ...). The easiest way to grasp what Haskell is all about is by reference to a known baseline, and programmers tend to have different baselines. e.g. the C page might start with "Haskell is a functional language", whereas the Python page might start with "Haskell is statically typed".
As well as I am a $language programmer. <link>Why should I use Haskell?</link> perhaps also things like I'm designing a programming course for undergraduates at a university. <link>Why should I use Haskell?</link> I run a small company. <link>Why should my developers use Haskell?</link> (but probably all with better wordings) Thanks Ian
