This is done quite nicely with clojuredocs being intergrated into Cursive / Intellij.

I hover over a Clojure function in INtelliJ and I get a pop up of the clojuredocs with description and example usages for that function.

It's great and I don't know why more IDE's don't do this. Why isn't VS linked to the MSDN for C# / .NET ? SO I can get the information for that function / class / library etc straight in my IDE!

Bringing it back, this works great with Rust and VSCode and rust-analyzer: Any function in any crate shows its doc comment complete with markdown formatting when you hover over it.

And you can assign a hotkey to open the docs in the browser for the symbol under the cursor.
