> we cannot run a web server or use a ton of JavaScript Just curious, why are those constraints there?

  The documentation is distributed locally, as static files, as well as being available on doc.rust-lang.org. This is considered a big feature. I personally would love to tell people "sorry, you have to run a basic web server, even locally" for a few reasons, but it doesn't feel socially viable at the moment, sadly :/

    Here's one way you might be able to make the case: If you require a web server even locally, then the docs can be installed as a single file (zip archive, SQLite database, etc.). This would eliminate the overhead of lots of small files on at least one popular desktop OS, speeding up installation and updates.

      This is already an active discussion, yep. We'll see...
