Please consider putting some code snippets in the home page, I needed I don't know how many clicks to find a random code snippet to look at in the docs.

Exactly. This is common on many programming language sites. You shouldn’t have to dig deep before finding code examples.

Fortunately Rust doesn’t do this and has a big example right at the top of its front page.

Looks like JS crossed with Python (not a bad thing at all)

We've heard the Python comment before, never the JS one. That's a new one to me. What brings JS to mind?

Nothing specific! Just a general impression.

I’m primarily working in JS these days and it felt very familiar and approachable so...
