I haven't used PHP in years, but I always felt the user examples section made their docs better than the Python docs which are still somewhat wanting for common use case based examples.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you seriously comparing a niche language almost nobody uses vs the language that runs the majority of websites?

I think you’re overstating the usage of Haskell. Hardly everyone uses it. Jokes aside, I think you’ll be surprised to learn that the DevOps effort for most official programming language resources are surprisingly alike, regardless of their popularity.

OTOH static sites are an obvious solution for high resilience, low effort devops, and low cost hosting.

They could decouple the comments section to a dynamic API + minimal client-side code. Even if the API and/or DB go down, all the pages of the site will keep working.

I would think reliability and uptime are high priorities for a language that could almost be considered critical infrastructure at this point... but what do I know.
