I am also a newcomer from industry. :)
Here's my two cents.
While the new web page looks pretty, it still needs to answer following
questions. Usually people cares about the most.
1. Can this thing solve my problem? (current and future)
2. Why would I choose (to invest my time on) this language
Why has no one really responded to this comment? I've never used Racket,
was just exploring and came across this thread, and saw that the front page
is still unchanged.
I think this person's comments are still very valid. Mainly the funky
images not telling me much on the homepage.

Here is the short version.
Rackets website does not sell Racket, it does not answer the WHY, someone
should choose racket to solve problems. It’s not clear as to the benefits
of using racket, it’s not clear what advantage I get for choosing Racket
over something like Python for web develo

I may be out of place here as I am a total beginner to programing. In a
matter of fact, I just pick up HTDP from Amazon to teach myself
programing. Respectfully, IMHO if you want to increase the popularity of
Racket. You can’t just place racket as another me too language like
python, etc.
Oh but that place just seems so awful.

communities of interest, with popular forum participation and blogs:

I'm not sure if HN even matters if there are enough good blog posts out
there. Search does a decent job of getting people to thos

Hard to top HN itself for Racket evangelism. It's written in Arc, which is
written in Racket.
