That's mostly what I mean. I love godoc and the philosophy behind it; its a massive improvement over the manual documentation build steps of Java, JS, Python, etc. But even more modern languages, like Rust and Elixir, do it better. There's a lot of low-hanging UX and usability fruit to be fixed in godoc which can make the experience better.

Ah, I see. I guess I think of these UX improvements as “the last mile”, and it’s nice to have something that gets us 95% of the way there compared to everything else that makes you work to get to 40%.
Also, i’ve never found Rust’s docs to be very easy to read; maybe the complexity of the type system makes for a more challenging UX, or maybe my opinion is simply an outlier.
In any case, it’s good to know things can get even better. Thanks for sharing!
