It's ultimately up to Rails how they want to do things. It's OK to complain about it but it's a shame when it discourages people from creating and maintaining open source projects.
- dllthomas 6y agoOther use in the Python ecosystem seems to predate Django (https://github.com/python/peps/commit/53474baa0790912b8a02f1468efd782e90dd09eb https://github.com/python/peps/commit/53474baa0790912b8a02f1...) although I'd certainly be interested in more context.
- benatkin 6y agoYeah I wonder if they arrived at the phrase independently. I think Jacob Kaplan-Moss was inspired by Python's standard library. It seems the owner of that PEP could probably provide more context. He wrote "Meditations on the Zen of Python" recently which means he's still thinking about pythonic software design: https://orbifold.xyz/zen-of-python.html https://orbifold.xyz/zen-of-python.html
