Stability of Julia

No, the point is such a statement isn’t helpful. “Make better docs”, but then

okay so not DataFrames? Is it a complaint in one of the definitions of the ODE solvers? https://diffeq.sciml.ai/stable/solvers/ode_solve/ No you’re a data science person so not that library. That rules out 2 libraries, >7000 libraries left to ask you about?

“Better docs” just isn’t helpful when there are thousands of libraries you could be talking about. Some are well-documented, some have no documentation. What would help the ecosystem is to figure out where there seems to be more user interest than developer interest (and thus, where users seem to be seeing bad documentation that no developer is working on). Saying something specific like “I tried using GLM.jl but could not find out how to do X, it seems to be missing tutorials”, that’s useful. But “better docs” and calling people “lazy” means that you’re literally downing on people’s documentation that you yourself haven’t even read, unless you do literally have an opinion on all >7000 documentations out there which we’d be happy to read the commentary.
