Another year, another article from a Ruby person saying they avoided because of its "one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do things" attitude.

Two points:

1. The load-bearing word is not "one", or even "preferably": it's "obvious". If something comes along that is more obvious than the current preferred way, then that new thing is worth considering, even if it creates a second way to do things. (youtube.com/watch?v=LA1Ir0s4icw)
