Why would it be a bad sign that the language has built in tools for common things you need to do?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

I'm guessing, they meant to write "that the language has no default way".

One of the things that frustrated me more with python, coming from R and Julia, was that the math and statistics functions weren't default. But after learning more, and learning the math, numpy, scipy and others started yo like that, there's different projects working on the same and you pick and choose what works better for you.

Agreed, numpy really could/should be built in.

Also pandas and matplotlib but maybe that's just me.

But what about the pleasure of starting any project with "import pandas as pd"?

The standard library is where project go to die.
