Ask HN: What would you expect to see in a programming language website?

3 pointsby interfacesketchover 6 years ago
I am creating a website template for a programming language.<p>What features or characteristics do you expect to see in a programming language site? Are there sites you think make good examples from an information point of view?<p>What features outside the core language documentation are useful? For example: success stories, who&#x27;s using the language, case studies, upcoming events, links to talks, articles etc.<p>What about the visual design? I feel visual design is important, but that doesn&#x27;t mean a heavy, bloated site or one which is visually overload. Something simple but pleasant.<p>Thoughts appreciated :-)

What does this language do better than other languages? What can I do with this language more easily? Where is it most useful?<p>A really useful programming language website would present a medium-sized project, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the language. For example, you could show how Conway&#x27;s Game of Life would be written in your language -- including graphics and parallelism.<p>Good luck with your website and your new language!
