I like it, especially the grouping into 3 ideas, the
spartan/utilitarian, and the substantial news right at the top.
Small suggestions, just to consider, not that it needs to be changed...
* I don't know whether there's a good way to fit all three ideas onto
the page at once without scrolling in a typical browser window. I like
how you've managed to pack a lot of stuff, while having the code samples
as relief and interest, and not being so big that the 3 ideas
organization is lost, and maybe that's better than trying to get all 3
ideas into view without scrolling.
* Some of the code samples could be a little more friendly. For
example, punctuation can look intimidating (anecdotal data point:
"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19971486";).
* People might wonder about the difference between `new frame%`,
`message-box`, and `make-object button%`. ("Why aren't they `frame`,
`message-box`, and `button`?").
* A Scribble example could be more free text, with only one or two
`@(`. So it shows more what Scribble is about, and it differs more from
the parens-heavy other samples, while also looking less cryptic.
* Maybe leave out the comments in the code samples (for the Scribble
one, you could mention ability to generate HTML and PDF in the text),
like is already done for the Datalog sample, so programmers will try to
read the code and guess what it does. Maybe they should think this is
neat, and they're pleasantly surprised they're picking up just by
looking at a sample.
