Docs are always something I evaluate before moving forward with a specific tool or language for a project. I have not done much work in the Apple ecosystem but it surprises me that a company of this size would have lackluster docs. It makes me wonder how many non-Apple developers give up on their idea for an app due to frustration and how that translates to lost profit for Apple given their 30% cut.

I am not a huge Golang fan but recently I found myself using Go quite a bit and I really appreciate their docs which include a description of each function and an example. The example code is even editable with a "Run" button so you could test and understand the function much better before moving it to your own code. Here's an example if you are unfamiliar with Golang docs (click the "example" link for the editable code): https://golang.org/pkg/strings/#Compare
