Guido van Rossum

“Programming is not about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.”

“Don't try to be clever — write code that is easy to understand.”

“Readability counts.”

“Simple is better than complex.”

“Explicit is better than implicit.”

“The best way to learn a programming language is to write code in it.”

“Code is read much more often than it is written.”

“I don't think of Python as a language. I think of it as a community.”

“The joy of coding Python is seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code.”

“Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need.”
