> "There should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it." The "Zen of Python" is a big pile of pseudo religious dogma which doesn't hold scientific scrutiny. For instance it says "Explicit is better than implicit." but Python does implicit declarations and implicit dereferencing. This reminds me about an article about religious dogmas I read recently: It described how a newer religions contain polemics against predominant neighboring religions at time of it's creation. Islam vs Christianity, Christianity vs Judaism, mainstream Judaism vs Samaritans and so on. The Zen of Python is best understood as an anti Perl polemic from back then.
