Python Zen Debate
Discussions center on whether Python's syntax, features, and code styles adhere to the Zen of Python principles, such as 'explicit is better than implicit' and 'one obvious way to do it', often labeling things as 'pythonic' or 'unpythonic'.

I feel like Python is getting ever farther away from "Explicit is better than implicit."
Why keep the syntax? It's one of the least impressive part of Python
python lost the 'only one obvious right way' zen long ago sadly.
I'm confused. Are you saying it's unpythonic but you like it anyway?
It's part of the zen of Python: Explicit is better than implicit.
Python _really_ doesn't need more obtuse syntax. It's bad enough as it is.
in the zen of python (import this) it says:there should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.sadly this is not true for a while in python now. Python became a language that can be really hard to read now.
This is somewhat against the zen of python, but then again "Beautiful is better than ugly." :)
"unpythonic" once again meaning "disliked by van Rossum."
The zen itself is correct even when Python doesn't follow it.
