Dear Reader,
Sound advice. You'd be forgiven to think this set of principles came from some dusty old philosophy manual. You'd be wrong. Believe it or not, this is an excerpt found on the FAQ page of the popular programming language, Python. The Zen of Python is a collection of 20 software principles that influences the design of Python Programming Language. Long time Pythoneer Tim Peters succinctly channels the guiding principles for Python's design into 20 aphorisms, only 19 of which have been written down. The 20th is left to your imagination. The whole story behind Python is rather playful and whimsical. Guido van Rossum, the Dutch founder of the language, gave Python its name because he was reading the published scripts from Monty Python Flying Circus! Van Rossum was looking for a name that was short, unique, and mysterious, so he decided to call the language Python. Oh, and he developed the programming language during the Christmas holidays because he had nothing better to do. Python is based on the English language - focused on simplicity. If C, C++ or Java would take 20 lines to implement something, Python takes around 3 - 4 lines to achieve the same thing. No weird symbols for simple code or variables, no need for semi colons, and code is always nicely spaced. Python enforces clean, structured programming techniques and borrows freely from other languages. It doesn't enforce a single model or approach to solving a problem (so Zen-like!). No wonder Python is snaking it's way into programmers hearts -- It is currently the second most popular programming language globally, after Java, and used by the likes of NYSE and Google.
