Makes better sense indeed.
Attached are the 3 patches I applied to take care of the above,
which is now live.
Thanks for the feedback!

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] main page: provide exhaustive list of supported languages

GDB?" section, with the languages being chosen somewhat abitrarily,
move that information to its own new section right after it, and list
all supported languages.
