Actually the &quot;Hello ...&quot; program is not so bad to show first.  After all, it <i>is</i> a tradition, and like other introductions in the social universe, greetings serve a purpose.  &quot;Hello world&quot; instantly tells me, ah, &quot;this language is a lot like C with some interesting differences&quot;.<p>From there quickly getting into the features that make the language unique will prevent reader boredom.  Overall your site was nicely done.  One aspect I particularly liked is that you described all of the syntax in the examples.  I really dislike when a new language is presented without making clear what symbols mean, as if I would just automatically know.<p>It will be interesting to see how Myrddin comes along.
