If you are referring to OCaml, many people in the community care a lot about writing good documentation so that it's not just the type signatures. In fact the OCaml website team have made amazing leaps and strides integrating package documentation directly in the website.

And the experience using OCaml LSP Server with VSCode nowadays is honestly pretty good--type annotations displayed, error messages, go to definition, generating interface files. The core functionality is all there.

That's good to hear! I don't mean to be too negative. I'm genuinely glad that OCaml is making these strides. I'm hopeful that OCaml can find its equivalent of Esteban Küber[1] and they can make the language a truly fun and friendly experience.
