- fuzztester 3y agoYes, and it even had a way to pronounce it, I'd read: timtowdy which I somehow did not like, but shrug. And then Python got on the bandywagon :) with: There should only be one, preferably obvious, way to do it or such, which, in later years, seems to be not bandied about as much.

It is principle 13 there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
