Zen

• Communicate intent precisely.
• Edge cases matter.
• Favor reading code over writing code.
• Only one obvious way to do things.
• Runtime crashes are better than bugs.
• Compile errors are better than runtime crashes.
• Incremental improvements.
• Avoid local maximums.
• Reduce the amount one must remember.
• Focus on code rather than style.
• Resource allocation may fail; resource deallocation must succeed.
• Memory is a resource.
• Together we serve the users.
