I am a huge fan of ClojureDocs, and in general community supported/open-to-submission style documentation systems, like MDN, and it was a godsend when I was first starting to learn Clojure. However, although I see this as a positive for the community, I also see it as a necessary outcome to the egregiously terrible official docs. I instead wish that the reality was that this wasn't necessary because the official docs were actually useful in any capacity. I look at Racket, Ruby, and Python as good examples of where the official docs work well enough to not really require a community supported version (yes, the docs quality vary between those three but they're pretty good and significantly better than the official Clojure docs).
- heyzk 4y agoI feel the same way! In fact, I wrote the first version of ClojureDocs (on rails) because people kept complaining on the mailing list about the official docs. It seemed like the best way to move community focus on to bigger and better things.
