Really like the new Erlang 27 docs https://www.erlang.org/doc/readme.html

Woah! They copied the excellent hexdocs format, this is great.

https://hexdocs.pm/nanoid/readme.html

Better still—they didn’t copy ExDoc, they are using it exactly as it is! It’s really refreshing to see the sharing between Erlang and Elixir.

Having been stuck in the js world my whole career, it’s really cool to watch a community that’s rooted in collaboration instead of competition.

What a breath of fresh air, the old docs really were showing their age.
It’s a nice example of cross-polination, they essentially adapted Elixir’s documentation system for Erlang.
Finally. I never liked erlang doc style.
