Here is a suggested change to the first page of the documentation:
Great job. I like the feel of it. It is active, straight-forward and enthusiastic.
However, because the data-type situation is very different to most anything else that existing programmers have dealt with, you might want to elaborate a bit more ...

The language has a simplified data-type concept. It only has Atoms* (numbers) and Sequences (dynamic lists) which are both statically typed, and Objects (run time variants). These are higher level and easier to use than conventional data-types.
* Technically it also has Integers which are a special form of Atoms, optimized for integral values.
