I can see how it can be annoying to have to scroll to see everything. That said, I also find the page somewhat pretty.

I suspect preconceptions of the language going into the page make a big difference.

Which is not to criticize the Rust page. It is also nice, just different.

I will offer that proclaiming that Millenials are Killing Common Lisp is probably more effective at alienating potential users than a redesigned home page. :(
