Explicit is better than implicit, always has been, always will be. Granted, I've been writing backend/server-side Python code for 15 years now, so that might be one of the reasons.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoFor what it’s worth, having spent the last few years writing server-side TypeScript, I’ve evangelized “explicit is better than implicit” fairly aggressively. A lot of even seasoned TS developers are still mainly accustomed to JS interfaces, and fairly often their first instinct is to cram a lot of semantics into a single variable or config flag. I’m glad I spent a few years working with PEP-8 fanatics. It made me much better at thinking about and designing interfaces.
