I recall working with AngularJS, which output error messages that had links, which opened the documentation with bits from your stack trace filled in.

It was a while ago and seemed a bit gimmicky, but i really enjoyed the ability to see what could be done about an error by opening a web page (without having to manually dig through StackOverflow or other sites).

Now, if we'd get a development framework that'd couple documentation like that, with user generated comments (like PHP has, for example see the bottom of https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php ), then i think the developer experience would improve a bunch!

Who knows, maybe even allow users to contribute possible fixes and allow those as autocomplete solutions and you've just improved on what tools like Codota do a whole bunch!
