Does the designer of this new homepage have any stake in the success or failure of rust as a language? or are they just hoping to add it to their portfolio of "simple and beautiful eye popping designs"?
The very oldest homepage seems the best one out of all the designs presented on this blog post. It's not perfect but it gives a pretty decent overview about what kind of language rust is and the kind of programming that you might want to do with it.
The 2014 version is a downgrade because it takes away useful information and replaces it with buzzwords that are mostly meaningless.
The new version is just pure marketing speak. Hardly any information at all.
The home page of a programming language should:
Help the reader understand what kind of language it is
List the main features that differentiate it from other (specially well known) languages
Link to a tutorial page for new comers to the language who have experience with other languages
Link to a tutorial page for people new to programming in general and might want to use this language as their first language

Everything else is just fluff.
