- New tagline: "The Language That Changes Everything" - Highlight 6 key features: algebraic effects, behavioral types, schema evolution, dual compilation, native performance, batteries included - Add sections for behavioral types (is pure, is total, is idempotent) - Add section for schema evolution with migration examples - Add section for dual compilation (C and JavaScript) - Add "Why Lux?" comparisons (vs Haskell, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Elm, Zig) - Add built-in effects showcase (Console, File, Http, Sql, etc.) - Add developer tools section (package manager, LSP, REPL, etc.) - Fix navigation to use anchor links (single-page site) - Update footer to link to GitHub docs/examples - Add README with local testing instructions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lux Website
Testing Locally
The website is a static HTML site. To test it with working navigation:
Option 1: Python (simplest)
cd website/lux-site/dist
python -m http.server 8000
# Open http://localhost:8000
Option 2: Node.js
npx serve website/lux-site/dist
# Open http://localhost:3000
Option 3: Nix
nix-shell -p python3 --run "cd website/lux-site/dist && python -m http.server 8000"
Option 4: Direct file (limited)
Open website/lux-site/dist/index.html directly in a browser. Navigation links will work since they're anchor links (#features, #effects, etc.), but this won't work for multi-page setups.

Building with Lux
Once the module system is working (fixed!), you can generate the site:
./target/release/lux website/lux-site/src/generate.lux
The HTML module is now functional and can render HTML from Lux code:
import stdlib/html
let page = html.div([html.class("container")], [
html.h1([], [html.text("Hello!")])
])
Console.print(html.render(page))
// Output: <div class="container"><h1>Hello!</h1></div>
Deployment
For GitHub Pages or any static hosting:
# Copy dist folder to your hosting
cp -r website/lux-site/dist/* /path/to/deploy/
