I'm CEO of WSO2 and we are working on a programming language for writing microservices called 'Ballerina', and we host it's community at http://ballerina.io . Prior to the first public launch, I pulled 9 of our core community members into an offsite where we developed and implemented the web site. It was a challenging exercise and so can relate to Rust's community efforts to the redesign. I wanted to offer some persp…
I get that you want to say what works well with Rust, but frankly few of these things are unique to Rust. With minimal changes I could turn this page into one advertising C++ or D.
It's ok to add the new content but the code example and list of unique features shouldn't have been removed.

I just want to say that if and if not you're the PR guy for rust, you're doing a great job. Rust is a well thought language and while I don't agree with the redesign, I like that you bring the thoughtfulness to the non-language component as well. I enjoy your blog posts. Ps: Your parent comment was opposed to discord not discourse.
My job is documentation, but I've always advocated for things I work on, believe in, and enjoy. Thanks. (and my sibling is right, they suggested that those who don't like IRC could use Discourse instead.)

I strongly agree. The list of features on the old list is very meaningful to a C programmer who will recognize all of those things as things would love to use every day. Its underlying message is "we're technical nerds and we made a thing that you'll like". The new version is corporate-speak that won't appeal to.. anyone? Its underlying message is "we're trying to get you to like us and we studied how to do this". Bu…
I totally agree. As a coder, whenever I visit a website of a project I'm interested in, I'm looking for key technical features to convince me it's the right tool for the job, or that it offers an unique property tht I never even thought about. That's usually conveyed in a list of bullet points, and a couple of examples. I can rarely find it though. I wasn't quite able to grasp why, and I kind of accepted this as how…

Just... thank you. Truly.
Compare it to https://www.python.org/ for example which is perfectly functional but squint and you could be on any page on the internet.
They have a clean, effective website. It has a pleasing look, and mostly it's just what a webpage should be, after all: a document. Text, images, an interactive code editor. Some CSS to make it look pleasing and readable. A navbar at the top. It works, it is pleasing to the eye, it communicates what it what it is meant to communicate and links to 4 important sections of the website. Wait, let's throw all that away an…
