Why is it green? It shouldn't be green. Ruby docs should be red.
If i stumbled onto this site while looking for docs about a ruby method, i'd think I landed on the docs for some other programming language or fork of ruby. That's how off-brand this is - to the point of being disorienting as a user.
There are not a lot of things that create a brand around a programming language, and color is definitely one of them.
This is such a tasteless design decision for something meant to be official ruby documentation that I can't even appreciate any other changes that docs may introduce. And then the fact that it doesn't even work on mobile...
I am truly baffled anyone would think this is in good taste.
the last time I saw such a fumble with ruby related docs was back around 2014 when relishapp was the only place to get rspec docs. It's UX was such a painful mess that i just avoided it at all costs. Glad to see it's dead now.
