Yeah, actually, I'm super well acquainted with it, are you? Normally I hate the "self-documenting code" trope, but in this case, actually think the vast majority of these parameters are actually self-documenting, and also, everything is type-annotated. Let's take a snippet from the Dependant class:

    class Dependant:
        def __init__(
            self,
            *,
            path_params: Optional[List[ModelField]] = None,
            query_params: Optional[List[ModelField]] = None,
            header_params: Optional[List[ModelField]] = None,

What are path_params? They're params parsed from the URL path. What are query params? The same, from URL query component. Header params? Params pulled from the request headers. Shocking. If you actually sit down and read through FastAPI it's remarkably easy to get your bearings and start hacking around, despite the "no actual documentation" (I think type annotations count as documentation).

Compare that to code bases like Django, Celery, Matplotlib, where it's kwargs, kwargs, everywhere and nary a type hint to speak of.

The number of open issues is due to the massive popularity of the library (46K stars) compared to the number of actual maintainers. Some actual questions on the Issues tab right now:

- How to add admin page? - Is safe to remove value from list in asyncio - Best practice to run FastAPI on Cloud Run with server port as $PORT

These are all n00b questions that could readily be answered with general-purpose resources, but this is the blight that super popular FOSS libs and their maintainers have to deal with.
