Every once in a while, a discussion about the top-level text on Haskell.org pops in this list. Without paying much attention to this thread, and without digging the older threads, it occurs to me that different people have very different opinion on this subject. I think this is not a problem at all, because of the following thought:
When someone is interested enough in a programming language to land on its homepage (i.e. haskell.org here), that someone has enough resources at her disposal to make a somewhat informed choice, and those resources can't be only a top-level text on the homepage.
When thinking about "What would I like to see when judging a programming language?", I found that I most like a gallery of small example programs.
I started such a gallery in the style of a restaurant menu some years ago, but never got around to finishing it:
Very nice. Definitely worth linking to from the main page, even incomplete. Cheers Ben
