That's also why i love the rust ecosystem. If you have rust installed and have your local dependencies (or only use the standard library), the docs can be generated locally (cargo doc). I certainly remember local manuals helping me out more than once over the years :)

Go does this too, and I believe a couple other modern languages do too. Seems like the need for it is real and has been recognised by language authors
