My usual test for choosing a new programming language, is to see how easy or difficult it is to read documentation without having to open a web browser.

For languages/tools/frameworks/whatever that I'm already using, the main way I compare between them is looking at the ratio of "problems I was able to solve from their official documentation" vs "problems where I needed to use random blog posts (or worse, Stack Overflow) to find the solution".

Makes it a lot easier for me to choose tech for my hobby projects, where I sometimes don't even touch projects for several years because stuff just runs smoothly.
