Should this have been caught by the automatic link checker?

[connorgoggins]

@leezu I'm not personally familiar with the automatic link checker, but I would assume so.

This is happening on the latest build, probably one of these 2 PRs import the bug #18598 #18578 .
The link is not broken on my website build #18579

[connorgoggins]

Thanks @ys2843. Found what I believe to be the root cause in #18598 - merge for that PR should be reverted ASAP.

[connorgoggins]

Updated issue as it is worse than initial assessment - docs for Java, Scala, C++, R, Clojure, and Julia are not being built and are no longer available on the website.

That's correct, the PR removes the language bindings that use the old graph executor APIs. For now we need to remove them from the master version of the website until they are available in mxnet 2.0. Users can access these language binding docs in mxnet 1.6 website version. Let's work together to remove them, instead of reverting the PR.

Was there community consensus on this change? @eric-haibin-lin

[leezu]

To some degree this is duplicate of #18429

[ys2843]

@sandeep-krishnamurthy The project for merging beta website need to be rediscussed due to this change.

[ys2843]

This issue can be closed, all language bindings are removed from master website.
