I'm playing with Zeal/Dash so I can view stdlib docs offline. (I've been coding on public transport recently, without a reliable data connection.) Anyone have tips for making the most of this setup? AFAICT docsets are basically HTML underneath.

Bootstrapping a language can be immensely satisfying. I've added the ability to define stub types in the Garden stdlib and suddenly I don't need to special-case Int or String! They're just normal type declarations.

It's always seemed odd to me that the Rust stdlib is so lean (no random numbers, regex, HTTP) yet clippy is so big (correctness, performance, style preferences, even 'too many arguments'). Maybe it's because cargo is mature but clippy doesn't have an extension ecosystem?
