Yup, I have to agree. The Ruby web site certainly is the best web site for a programming language that I've come across, but it's certainly not "amazing". I like the python documentation design, but their home page is a bit dull.
Agreed. But I prefer dull over too flashy, so don't exaggerate.
Anyway, here's another variation, this time with more colour:
Not bad, but the black background for the "Haskell is an advanced ..." blurb is ugly. Having the text directly on the background image would be better, I think.
(b) A little redundancy is no problem at all. I try to follow the inverted pyramid model: put all the important information at the top, and add more details below. If that leads to a small amount of duplication so be it.
+1 A little redundancy can be a great help sometimes, just keep an eye on the amount of duplication.
(c) As mentioned before, we don't want a perfect home page, we simply want a better one. Incremental improvements can be made later on.
Again: Aye, very much so.
