15 years ago, Python programmers used to mock Perl by quoting the Zen of Python: "There should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it.". This was in stark contrast to Perl's TIMTOWTDI motto: "There Is More Than One Way To Do It."
The Zen of Python is sadly now an absolute lie.
Rather than an absolute lie, I’m more inclined to characterize it as naïve or black-and-white thinking, outside of CRUD apps and undergraduate intro projects.
