I agree that "statically typed" comes with a lot of Java/C++ baggage. Is
there some way of saying "really statically typed", or "uncoercable
immutable statically typed values"?

"lazy" and "statically typed" don't mean much to other people. They are buzz words that mean nothing to many people.
But they /are/ defining characteristics of the language, still. I think they should be mentioned, ideally as links to separate pages (or pop-ups or a "live" sidebar?) that explain what they mean, and why you'd want them.

I agree that it is important to highlight the features that are characteristic of the language. However, I would add that "statically typed" is a turn-off for some people, so I think it is important to add "with type inference".
