I hate to be critical, but I really wish programming languages would show code samples more prominently. I like how factor does it: http://factorcode.org/
Don't downvote him. He is absolutely right. The picture on that page is a major WTF and it doesn't offer a great first impression to the visitor interested in the language.
I downvoted it because, whether he's right or not, the comment and resulting discussion of uncooked food isn't worth 8 points.
The copyright reads "Rachel Bracha". Probably a picture taken by his wife or daughter.
Terrible choice nevertheless.
Downvote me all you want, but if I go to a web page and the first thing I see is dead chicken plastered onto a wall, I close that page.
You just made me look at that page. I was about to email it to a friend when I realized that newspeak's real home page doesn't have any dead chicken pictures:
http://newspeaklanguage.org/
Better, (ok, so _much_ better) but it's still a barely-modified default wordpress template.
That's why I linked to the whitepaper, instead of the author's site's entry on the language. Other responses have linked to the project's main page.
Wondering why I got downvoted? Should I have vacuumed it into scribd?
