Probably the most indicative part of Norvig's code beauty is the requirements file [0]. With python developers being infamous for importing obscure/questionable libraries for even a simple task, I love how Norvig solved all these with just native libraries and the staples numpy/plt.

Why do you think python has that reputation? I don't associate it with python, I associate that with npm/js


Yeah, from my experience NPM/JS and Cargo/Rust win that competition by a landslide. Python has a very powerful standard library.
