Dont panic!
42 for the zen of programming

It only looks like pseudocode.

Python:  Go ahead.  Be a Hero.

Putting fun back into programming.

Life is short.  Code in Python.

Easy as pseudocode.

No [implementation] fog

Choose Python. Choose readability. Choose the
simple over the complex and the complex over the
complicated. Choose dynamic typing. Choose duck
typing. Choose decorators. Choose generators.
Choose metaclasses if you don’t value your sanity.
Choose to import this. Choose an almost-fanatical
devotion to the BDFL, unless he comes up with
something like optional static typing, in which case
choose to whine about it in your blog until he stops.
Choose Effbot. Choose Timbot. Choose wx. Choose
to come up with a bloody implementation before
spouting off on comp.lang.python or Python-Dev.
Choose the explicit rather than the implicit. Choose
one obvious way to do it, especially if you are Dutch.
Choose list comprehensions. Choose Paul Graham’s
essays and s/LISP/Python/g. Choose Jython when
your marketing people choose Java. Choose speed
of development over speed of execution, but when in
doubt, import psyco. Choose to finish early and
laugh at your colleagues as they waste their
miserable lives bowing down in subservience to that
sadistic little C++ compiler.
Choose your future.
Choose Python.
