The "Try It" section really needs to have the text cursor be active anywhere I can click on the box to type. At first it made me think that I had to move over to the grey bracket-cursor (and thus a little frustrating/confusing/unexpected). Especially since I can click to the right (when the cursor is a normal pointer) and it gains focus.

This page is strongly trying to convert a viewer, the experience can be smoothed here.

Please note this homepage is NOT final and it's going to see revisions before we push it out to the actual website, including many tweaks to the content and probably some styling tweaks too.

There are a lot of other things we still need to do as well, like ensure all redirects and subpages work properly.

Source: I'm one of the Haskell.org administrators, and we pushed this out only today.

Another suggestion would be more examples under the clear concise code bit--possibly in a carousel.

Additionally, all examples could be loaded into the "Try It" section, so I could type `take 4 primes` or something.

Instead, in my attempt to load the primes function.. I was met with this bit.

    λ let sieve (p:xs) = p : sieve [x | x

I dislike this. Where is the 'call for me to do something'? Why are there blurred people on an escalator(?). Don't make me pick between concise and reliable. I'm more than willing to distill your messaging if it would help in any way. If only as an alternative.

I like the new site. It's beautiful and elegant. The weird flowers on the download page are gone. But the link to "Introduction to Functional Programming Using Haskell" takes me to the publisher page for the textbook "Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry".
