If I ever _DO_ find a language that *DOES* mercilessly refactor in pursuit
of the ideal only one obvious way, I may well jump ship, since my faith in
Python's adherence to this principle which I cherish so intensely has
been so badly broken ...
The phrase only one obvious way... is nearly the most absurd
marketing bullshit I have ever heard; topped only by it fits your
brain. Why are so many clearly intelligent and apparently
self-respecting hard-core software engineers repeating this kind of
claptrap? It sounds more like a religious cult than a programming
language community. If one of my students answered the question: Why
use X for Y? with X fits your brain. or There's only one obvious
way to do Y in X. I'd laugh out loud before failing them.
