What would it look like? What are some great examples?

A little bit of code, a small amount of content, nice layout, etc.: https://www.haskell.org/
A little too much here, but nice call-out for downloads and nice tabbed pane for code examples: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/
✅ Wow, I haven't gone to the Python site in ages ... they nailed it: https://www.python.org/

Counter examples:

Elixir's page has too much on it
Erlang's page doesn't have enough
Golang's site, meh
Rustlang's site, meh
Elm, Pony, etc., more meh

Been digging through the info-arch of the Python site, and I think some stuff is confusing, but visually it's great. This would be a fantastic starting point for a new design of the LFE site ...

I messed about with the CSS (and logo) on the Python site, and came up with this color scheme, which seems nice:

Now I want to poke around at the various latest CSS frameworks (e.g., the latest Bootstrap or maybe Foundation) and see what widgets they have that could get us super-close to something like this with little effort ...

Some Bootstrap examples/components that might be useful as starting points:

Thinking about this site generator, since I've enjoyed using mdbook so much:

I think this is pretty much done now.
