I closed the page after waiting about 5 seconds for the page to load.
Yes, I realize that the "loading" was really just Javascript effects to present each element individually. I'm sure that artists and designers love that stuff. But the people interested in a programming language framework are people who have things to do and value their time - otherwise they would not be looking for a framework.
Not to mention that the landing page says absolutely nothing about what it is. Just saying that it's a framework means nothing. A framework can be a lot of different things.
I agree with you, the landing page is very poor, if they are trying to sell the framework to someone it need to have more clear information. Maybe they can learn from next.js, remix.run and redwoodjs landing pages.
I agree. We will do that once we shift focus on marketing/website, which is when we are out of alpha. Currently its a pragmatic low time-budget site that has only as purpose to tell that this exist, not to sell it like the companies you linked.
I agree, so I removed it. Designers sometimes recommend something that will not work out in the real world, so I have no hard feeling removing that.
Website is still not optimised though. It's a big SPA that loads most things in advance and followed a pragmatic mindset. Better done than perfect. It's low priority to make that faster, however shouldn't be a problem though as the target audience usually has big bandwidth.
They've removed the animations now. The page still loads ~2MB of Javascript, but at least it doesn't faaaaaaaaaaaaaaadeeeeee iiiiiin ooooooone woooooord aaaaat aaaaa tiiiiiime.
