Right. When looking at the core language, "There Is More Than One Way To Do It" becomes "More than one thing will compile to the same VM opcodes, so you can choose the one that best expresses your intent to the maintenance programmer." When looking at libraries, "There Is More Than One Way To Do It" becomes "More than one library will solve your problem and you're welcome to select the one that makes the speed/size/complexity/feature trade-offs that best fit the project at hand." This is, absolutely, initially more confusing than "there should be one obvious way to do it", but it has other advantages, especially in the long run.
