There is more than one way to do it
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from There's more than one way to do it)
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI, usually pronounced "Tim Toady") is a Perl motto. The language was designed with this idea in mind, so that it "doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program". This makes it easy to write extremely messy programs, but, as proponents of this motto argue, it also makes it easy to write beautiful and concise ones.
The Zen of Python has a principle which is the exact opposite of TIMTOWTDI: "There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it."
