I was thinking about the topic of beautiful code this morning. There’s a lot of disagreement about what constitutes beauty in code. I’ve watched Marcel Molina Jr. talk about Plato and Pythagoras. O’Reilly has published a whole book on the subject. On the other hand, Jeff Atwood thinks that there’s no such thing.. I disagree with Jeff on this – I definitely think there is such a thing as beautiful code. But I’m not sure if my idea of what makes code beautiful is the same as others’.

A nice post on a highly subjective matter.

Agreed... I think a lot of the major open source code, does a very good job, on presenting what beautiful code should be.
