I couldn't survive by Django documentation alone, even tho is amazing there was a lot of features undocumented, a lot of times I had to check in the code itself for some edge cases 3rd party docs

That's a failing of Django documentation, not indicative of a merit of Rust's. ;)

I'd say it isn't any more "technical" than Javascript docs are to a desktop

That's why I used quotes, I couldn't find a better adjective.

That's a failing of Django documentation, not a merit of Rust's.

Was not meant as that, just an example to illustrate that even the better documented SW has it's flaws, those doesn't make them badly documented. Which is of course subjective at some point. And if you read until the end of the paragraph

That hasn't happen to me with Rust so far.

Clearly I mention Django to illustrate the difference to me between both and that Django is more friendly to newcomers yet somehow incomplete and Rust more complete yet maybe less inviting to newcomers. That's what I meant to target audience.

Tutorials (and books)

That's what I mistakenly called Documentation before in opposition to API docs which obviously are documentation too. Of course you need documentation, nobody will use a library and even less a framework looking nothing but the code, that would be insane. Not even if the library is only for consumption of the author, not if expect to maintain some sanity.

the interesting thing is, English is my second language, and that shows how, when you are not comfortably enough with the language you end up "coding" big convoluted responses to explain something simple. And misunderstandings happen. And then you try to solve it with more comments. haha, so meta. :D

TODO list:

  • added, more English.
