Website rebuilt from scratch based on analysis of 11 beloved language
websites (Elm, Zig, Gleam, Swift, Kotlin, Haskell, OCaml, Crystal, Roc,
Rust, Go).
New website structure:
- Homepage with hero, playground, three pillars, install guide
- Language Tour with interactive lessons (hello world, types, effects)
- Examples cookbook with categorized sidebar
- API documentation index
- Installation guide (Nix and source)
- Sleek/noble design (black/gold, serif typography)
Also includes:
- New stdlib/json.lux module for JSON serialization
- Enhanced stdlib/http.lux with middleware and routing
- New string functions (charAt, indexOf, lastIndexOf, repeat)
- LSP improvements (rename, signature help, formatting)
- Package manager transitive dependency resolution
- Updated documentation for effects and stdlib
- New showcase example (task_manager.lux)

- Fix parse_list_expr to skip newlines between list elements
- Add `pub` keyword to all exported functions in stdlib/html.lux
- Change List.foldl to List.fold (matching built-in name)
- Update weaknesses document with fixed issues
The module import system now works correctly. This enables:
- import stdlib/html to work as expected
- html.div(), html.render() etc. to be accessible
- Multi-line list expressions in Lux source files
