The Zen of Dask #246

Open MrPowers opened 2 years ago

You can type import this in Python and a "Zen of Python" is returned with some of the core values of Python, some examples:

Flat is better than nested
Readability counts
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess

It'd be cool to have a import dask.this with a "Zen of Dask" that outlines some of the core values of Dask, some ideas:

Dask is visual
Embarrassingly parallel whenever possible
Expose familiar syntax over new syntax
Build on top of popular libraries to allow for interop

I think users could find this sort of "Dask mission statement" inspiring.

The closest thing I know of are the Dask best practices docs (including the separate pages for Arrays, DataFrames, and Delayed).
