The best examples from the tests and http://www.javaslang.io/javaslang-docs should be included in the home page (also see https://github.com/functionaljava/functionaljava and https://github.com/slamdata/matryoshka for good examples) in a short but concise manner (maybe even comparing it to Java and stating it publicly that we're following Scala) ... maybe even include some benchmarks and everything that would address the concerns of most people.

Also, the project's description needs to be compacted as well (i.e. object-oriented programming with the elegance and ro… http://javaslang.io)
