The Discipline — Python
Python · Guido van Rossum
A deliberate reduction. Where K&R required a function and Java a class, van Rossum's first public release in February 1991 needed exactly one statement — no main, no braces, no semicolon. The print statement (not yet a function; that came with Python 3 in 2008) was the manifesto: legibility over ceremony. Posted to the alt.sources Usenet group from CWI in Amsterdam.
