Feature Quotations | Page 4

Everyone has an individual background. Someone may come from Python, someone else may come from Perl, and they may be surprised by different aspects of the language.

The principle of least surprise is not for you only.

David is one you can rely on. He knows what's going on and he does a good job of helping the new ones. He did a great job for us last year as a reliable blocker.
