Holy fuck that is long. When the documentation for the integer parsing function is 10 pages long, there's something seriously wrong with the language

Is it? I've seen longer articles for C# and not as many complaints about it.

Probably not an article about integer parsing, though. If the docs are that long, then because Microsoft does have a tendency to be overly verbose for things they think you need, just to have no docs for the stuff you actually need.

For reference here's the relevant rust docs.
