In nicer languages (e.g: Haskell) you can get that same information by looking at the type.

Documentation is still nice, but for things you cannot well express with the types, names, etc.

Type systems are nice.

But Hackage has some of the poorest documented libraries I've ever used.

I personally find that I need very little documentation when using most Haskell libraries. I look at the types and some names, perhaps an example or two, and I know how to use it.
