> Documentation was better back when.
When I started programming properly ('84, '85?) it began with being issued the full shelf of IBM 3060 manuals - and when I mean shelf, I mean 3 feet. All my reference material was for the version I was using - relevant, complete, practival. We used to say RTFM and we meant it, you had an M to RTF.
Lots of people hate on the Erlang documentation http://www.erlang.org/doc/ but I love 'em, proper shelf, proper docos.
I am trying to write some HTML5/Javascript sound stuff and help is picking overcooked vegetables out of Google Soup - ech!
