How the way of coding shows the way of life -- Secrets Unlocked

1 | Beautiful is better than ugly.

2 | Explicit is better than implicit.

3 | Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated.

4 | Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense.

5 | Readability counts.

6 | Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

7 | Although practicality beats purity.

8 | Errors should never pass silently Unless explicitly silenced!

9 | In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

10 | There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

11 | Now is better than never. Although never is often better than right now.

12 | If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.

13 | Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
