I always thought CS was a "kinda-python-y" version of Javascript, though I never actually used it. It surprised me, therefore, to see that the OP considers these two items to be principles applied to the design of the language:

  - Implicit is better than explicit

  - There is more than one way to do it

These are the exact _opposite_ of a couple of the principles of the design of Python[1].
