> "you always have the exe" is just not even remotely a valid argument.
Why? Can you explain it to me?
I'm a Rust developer. I use my work station every day for 8 hours to write code. I also use `cargo doc` (the tool for which "I always have the exe") every day to look up API docs, and in total this saves me a ton of time every month (probably multiple hours at least, if I'm working with unfamiliar libraries), and I save even more time because I don't have to maintain separate header files (because Rust doesn't have them).
Can you explain the superior flexibility and utility of "merely opening a text file" over this approach, and how that would make me (and my colleagues at work) more productive and save me time?
I'm not being sarcastic here; genuinely, please convince me that I'm wrong. I've been a C developer for over 20 years and I did it the "opening a text file" way and never want to go back, but maybe you're seeing something here that I never saw myself, in which case please enlighten me.
