I've noticed people often get bogged down on the issue of "beautiful" code in focusing on the syntax of the language. But that's only a tiny fraction of what makes code beautiful. The true beauty is in the underlying algorithm or idea that the code is implementing. Much like calculus problems aren't what I would call beautiful, but the underlying mathematical principles are.
