How Clojure's documentation can leapfrog other languages

Summary

I made a documentation generator that cashes in on Clojure's dynamism. See the play-cljs docs (a ClojureScript game library) for an example of its output.

The Problem

Like many of you, I've often wondered what my final regret will be on my deathbed. My best guess came to me in a dream recently. I was walking across the charred earth of an apocalyptic future world, maneuvering around the remains of the less fortunate. I was startled to find a young girl, barely holding onto her life. She murmured something to me. I asked her to repeat it, and she said more loudly: "I...wish your Clojure projects didn't have such crappy documentation."

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

We don't use that word here

There are some words which carry with them the baggage of sexism and ableism and so they're words we've chosen to avoid using within our community.

We realise that sometimes SlackBot might get a bit over-eager and correct you when you intentionally chose that word and it is appropriate. That's okay, but we find that in most cases, SlackBot's reminders help us choose our words with intention and promote a more inclusive and welcoming space.

There are plenty of other words that you can use which can still convey the meaning you're looking for. Sometimes it might require a bit of creativity, but trust us – it can be done.

We don't assume you were intentionally being sexist or ableist. Our language is littered with the legacy of unfortunate cultural baggage. You might not even believe that there's a problem with the word you used. That's cool, but we don't use that word here.

	* Spacing helpers for consistent margin and padding on elements. Uses rems (not px!)
	*
	* With the current default settings, generates classes like:
	* .mts = margin-top: 0.5rem
	* .phl = padding-left: 2rem; padding-right: 2rem; // h = horizontal = left/right
	*
	* Inspired by:
