When I look at a programming language site, especially for a "new" language, I want a quick way to navigate to a reasonably sized decent code sample, ideally documented, showing off significant language features, idiomatic syntax and usage patterns etc...

Sites which do this well (just from the top of my head):

  https://odin-lang.org/
    immediate code sample visible
    "See the Full Demo"
    "See More Examples"

  https://ziglang.org/
    immediate code sample
    scroll down a bit, "More Code Samples"
Here on red-lang.org... I can barely find a consecutive meaningful chunk of code... ?

  "Getting Started" Nope
  "Documentation" Nope
  "Official Documentation" link to github
    https://github.com/red/docs/blob/master/en/SUMMARY.adoc
  "Home"
    merely a chronologically sorted blog
    newest entry links to 50 line "script" by chance
      showing off multi-monitor support
      (doesn't seem like a super helpful sample)
