Being known for one-liners can (*can*, not must) mean that my language has the right features, abstractions, and APIs for common use cases and task(s) at hand. Most programs are composed of multiple one-liners. ;-) Any program can be one line long if I put all the details into a library function. That said, a [standard] library that contains everything is not a good goal. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/A7UJZXGCSKMZAVFWHXKNX7FCOAVCD33C/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
