Which dev product (API, library, etc.) gave you the best dev experience?

Question

As a developer, which product/open-source project/API gave you the best, most flawless developer experience?And why?To me, ElasticSearch official reference has a great in-depth explanation. However, I'd love to see more guides, examples, use-cases to be able to learn by example.

Python seems fairly pleasant to me. Experimenting with code using the interpreter is straightforward -- even when re-using methods or classes from large codebases -- built-in help and documentation is available in the same interactive environment, and the online reference and API documentation is well-organized and versioned, snappy and quick to search.In the rare situations where something requires especially detailed debugging, the core libraries themselves are open source, and the bug tracker is equally open to help trace down any existing conversations and unexpected results.

I always thought Elixir and Vue are both fantastic tools with high quality documentation that not only show you how to do what, but also the context of why you do things a certain way, pitfalls, etc.Not sure if that's in the ballpark of what you're looking for, sorry if not.
