Sorry for the delay. Right now I'm focused primarily on standardizing the language and creating a website for Dhall that presents Dhall in several different ways, but I still have a few comments on your suggestions:
Regarding examples of non-trivial functions, I think the best way for users to learn that is to study the Prelude (which has replicate, for example)
For your last comment, I added a case study to the README here:
https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang
That case study motivates why you want a configuration language and shows off various features (like imports, comments, and types). The case study doesn't yet cover the benefits of being non-Turing-complete, yet, but I plan on addressing that as part of expanded documentation for the website

Well this is great! The case study is very clear and motivates most of Dhall design decisions. Thanks for adding it!
Feel free to close this issue.
