Such an inverted pyramid is exactly the consequence Nielson draw from the "F shape pattern" (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/reading_pattern.html).
And that's my critque: i don't see the most important things there are to be sayed about Haskell in the top left corner.

I don't agree that "everything on one page" makes comprehension easier.

few clicks make things easier.
That depends on which task we are talking about:
- getting an overview of all available information, or
- finding exactly what you are looking for
I think we should optimize for the latter, where "What is Haskell?" being the most improtant question.
