Thoughts about rustdoc
Hello! I’m a technical writer. rustdoc has come up in a lot of discussions recently. If you have a few minutes to spare, please tell me what you like/dislike about Rust’s standard approach to docs. If you’ve worked in other languages and can compare/contrast rustdoc with how those other languages approach documentation, that will also probably be very informative. ⌘ Read more
