I think it's nice. It's super functional and easy to find information. It may not be pretty, but I know exactly where to go to find what I want.
I like that the urls are consistent. To find package documentation, I go to golang.org/pkg/<name of import>. For example, for http docs, I go to golang.org/pkg/net/http.
For most languages, I resort to a Google search to find package docs. This is true for python, c++, and even Java. I rarely have to google search something in Go.
I think the site very much fits in with their goal of simple and orthogonal. I actually wish more language documentation followed suit and made it easier for programmers to search for docs.
Sure, everyone wants a pretty site, but it's not like they need to advertise anything. It gets the job done very efficiently.
- dualogy 14y agoRegarding docs, what's also extremely neat is, when you're offline, just run "go doc" and it starts an HTTP server on your local machine to serve the exact same fine documentation experience. So thoughtful, one of many small details just part of the overall package, when you need them you find them easily and are delighted.
