Why PHP Was a Ghetto

I think he is right. I never found a language with better docs! PHP's website is it's own documentation and it works really nice:

http://php.net/arrays

http://php.net/extract

http://php.net/oop

I hardly memorize stuff 'cause it's so easy to look up to the docs that it's not necessary. And here is what you get when you don't really know what you are looking for:

http://php.net/array_implode

That is just nice documentation...

Have a look at clojuredocs.org. I think it's one of the best documentation sites I've seen for any language or library. I especially like the inclusion of source code and links to other code that uses the thing being documented.

An example: http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/condp

I concur. That site's documentation is the best I have ever seen. The documentation on the main page is pretty good too:

C#, Java, and other languages have abundant online documentation as well. What's more, their documentation isn't filled with the vagueness and ambiguity that plagues PHP's documentation.
