Question

YES. This question appears subjective. And it's on purpose. I'd like to know the opinion of other programmers. What they consider a programming language "Beautiful" and why?

My list:

  1. Smalltalk (Syntax, collection management, intuitive)
  2. Ruby (Beautiful syntax)
  3. Lisp (Once your mind wrap around it, it becomes something inexplicable)

Paradoxically, i don't use any of this every day.

What do you think?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Python.

Easily the most readable of all languages I've worked with. It resembles pseudocode so much that people who've had no programming language experience can read Python code and at least assume what it's supposed to do.

It's compact, beautiful, useful, and, really important if you're programming in one language a lot, it's fun.
