What i really love about languages from the past like #perl #lisp #c is that most of the time you get the documentation of modules and libraries baked into your os. For c most of the time `man some_c.h` or `perldoc Some::Module` or `(documentation #'somesymbol)` why isn't that the case for more languages?
