Like Wikipedia, it is not perfect and it is biased, but it is usually a good starting point for C++, iOS, Python, Javascript, Go etc. And you get valuable information about workarounds.
In the 1990s it could take me half an hour or more to learn that something was not possible or too much trouble by browsing manuals... References tell you what is possible, not what isn't possible, hard to do, buggy, workarounds… (but that is often just as important)
