Python has a famous adage `explicit better than implicit`.

You want to be explicit but still concise while writing python.

I do not have any experience with Java, but I guess when writing Java you can feel that you use too many words than needed (i.e. definition of verbose [0]), wikipedia has a hello world example[1] and it feels just heavy.

IMHO if you write pythonic code, very often it feels like writing/reading prose, seems like talking to computer. You are not too implicit, neither too verbose.

I'm guilty of this, because words are so meaningless to me. I'd rather have single lettre or glyph than ~clear yet ambiguous words.
