Worst possible time - and no Google cache. By tomorrow, 90% of the people who are interested would have forgotten the site, especially that they got some interest going on today. It seems to be an offshoot from Andrew Ng's team, which is trustworthy.
I heard this analogy when I was at Amazon: the internet is like a party where your worst fear is not that nobody will show up, but that EVERYBODY will show up.
I sort of found it ugly, before getting used to the syntax. A lot of the feeling of ugliness of a code comes from the unfamiliarity of the syntax.
I had the same problem with Rust, especially with the lifetime syntax; all these ' in random places just made a feeling of unevenness. But when your brain starts to have a deeper understanding on the construct, it processes things differently and the structure of the code comes at you in a clear way (when the code itself is not some crap by itself, of course). Beautiful code is clear code.
It's nowhere near as "elegant" as most scripting languages, and not nearly most of the purely functional languages, but I think it's better than /$C(++)?^/.
