Meta-comment: this is an excellently written landing page. All the comments about the explanation prose you usually see on HN when a language or library is introduced could be rewritten as "Make it more like Haste's landing page".
I think it says a lot about the web when a simple, mostly text-only page giving an accurate description of what something is gets viewed as excellent due to how uncommon it is.
Personally I think it could definitely do with some small code examples in between paragraphs. Makes me more likely to read my way through the whole thing, but also gives me the option of scanning the examples for something interesting and reading that paragraph first.
While on the topic of the landing page, it doesn't scale well in chrome on linux. I use two windows side by side and the navigation bar breaks around 938px width, which is just short for me.
The text itself is well written and clearly thought through though, with the right amount of detail.
Agree. If it had a list of "Awesome stuff made with haste" at the bottom, I'd be more inclined to proclaim it perfect. Perhaps it's just a matter of time!
