The zen of Python should be the zen of all languages.
- BugsJustFindMe 1y agoYes, it should be. Sadly it's not even unambiguously the zen of Python these days.
- fullstop 1y agoYes, one way to do it. Sync or async!
- giancarlostoro 1y agoAll I'm hearing is that Erlang is the true Zen.
- dirtbag__dad 1y agoUnfortunately in practice you see snowflake implementations left and right in python. It’s still unclear to me if python is too expressive for its own good, or if it’s so widely used, that it’s impossible to avoid nonsense
- giancarlostoro 1y agoI assume like 70% of Python developers do not even know the Zen of Python, let alone PEP-8. It's likely the size.
