That’s also why i love the rust ecosystem. If you have rust installed and have your local dependencies (or only use the standard library), the docs can be generated locally (cargo doc). I certainly remember local manuals helping me out more than once over the years :)

Go does this too, and I believe a couple other modern languages do too. Seems like the need for it is real and has been recognised by language authors

Yes, this is the problem with PHP. It gets a lot of people programming who shouldn’t be. I still have nightmares about the PHP code one of my managers at a previous job wrote.

Exactly, programming shouldn’t be easily accessible. Anybody following a tutorial can make a simple page working. And they think they know programming, get hired by people not knowing any better, and here we are, debugging supid shit instead of doing nice things.
