Pretty much all of this critique applies squarely to the Zen of Python.

Seriously. None of those lines are actionable in any way.

Some people (or maybe even most) take it almost religiously. Maybe because of the name.

But the Zen of Python is an absolutely great vision statement, that positioned the language very clearly in comparison to the ones that existed at the time, and was good enough to guide its development for more than a decade.

Still, yeah, you can negate half of those things and also arrive at a good language.
