On 'Explicit is better than Implicit'

[OvermindDL1]

@josevalim

In particular, explicit does not mean dropping things like “convention over configuration”. In fact, I would argue that making everything verbose makes it less explicit, because you don’t know what to focus on (i.e. if everything is explicit, then nothing is explicit).

This is so true!

Go is a prime example of this, the sheer huge amount of code just to do simple algorithms obscures the work actually being done.

It’s a fine balance. I’m finding this thread quite interesting to read so far to see everyone’s ideas on it.
