It's a shame the documentation is so poor for scalajs.
- sjrd 10y agoCould you elaborate on specific points that would require improvements? Most feedback I receive says it's good. If those of you who think it's poor only tell us "it's poor", there is nothing we can do to improve it.
- estefan 10y agoI'm about to start using it again, but one point: the installation page[1] doesn't actually tell you how to install it... [1] http://www.scala-js.org/doc/ http://www.scala-js.org/doc/
- sjrd 10y agoHum, that's because you don't actually need to install Scala.js per se. sbt will download and use it for your project automatically. I agree that the way it is presented on that page is confusing, though. I'll add some explanation about that when I get back from conferences. Thanks for the feedback!
- rpeden 10y agoFor what it's worth, I've found the documentation to be quite good, and easy to follow. Thanks for all of your hard work. Having said that, I agree it would be good to hear more from people who dislike the current documentation. Scala.js is a great project, and so it seems worthwhile to make any documentation changes that would make it accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoI haven't looked at scala.js, but as a new-ish scala user I thought the kick-off post in that mailing list drama from last month summarized my thoughts pretty well.
- sjrd 10y agoI won't argue about the documentation of Scala in general. But a post in the thread you are referring to was specifically mentioning Scala.js as not having the same issues.
