Neat! A nitpick: I haven't used Haskell, so I'm trying to read the prime sieve example in the corner, but there's very little contrast between the background and the nonalphanumeric characters. Some brighter syntax highlighting would be a better choice against that dark background.
Great timing, as I've just started to explore Haskell in the last few days. First, I really like the style of the new site. My only gripe is that the section with the lecture hall photo and the videos right below it don't seem like an efficient use of prime real estate (and there is no context for the videos, I have no idea what they are or why I would want to watch it. The thumbnails suggest that I'd be clicking on…

"Try haskell expression here" + lessons is very nice. Just a little nitpick: λ map (+1) [1..5] can't find file: Imports.hs λ map (+ 1) [1..5] [2,3,4,5,6]:: (Enum b, Num b) => [b] though the first expression is what suggested in lesson 4. Edit: looks like some random bug.
λ let (_,(a:_)) = (10,"abc") in a
can't find file: Imports.hs
λ let (_,(a:_)) = (10,"abc") in a
'a'
:: CharPlease 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.
Viewing the existing site in a desktop browser, I get to see the description of Haskell, and a bunch of useful links about learning it, downloading an implementation, using it, and participating in the community. Recent news items and upcoming events are also visible, as is the search field.
This new design lacks pretty much all of that. Instead of useful content, links and functionality, all I'm seeing are large areas of purple and white, and an extremely blurry photo, along with content of very limited value.
I just can't see this new design being beneficial in any way. It makes it much harder to get useful information about Haskell, which seems very contradictory to what a website like this should be doing.
I like the look. A question: I have always used the "The Haskell Platform" download page and installer. The new download page looks like it is just Haskell, cabal, and default libraries. I am running ghc version 7.6.3 and cabal version 1.16.0.2. Haskell experts: should I do a fresh install? (I am on OS X and Ubuntu). Also, shameless plug: I blogged earlier today about using Haskell to access OpenCalais and the DBPedi…
I sort of have a thing for commas:
An advanced purely-functional programming language
An advanced, purely-functional programming language
Possibly something like:
* Show me a world without Null
* How does Haskell help me scale?
* When does less code give me more?
* Take me on a tour of Hackage
