Sandi Metz talked about a thing she does in her 2014 All the Little Things talk that she calls the "Squint Test". The idea being that you can tell a lot about the code from only its shape and colours by squinting at it.

There is much to understand about code by its shape, but blocks of words tend to have much less obvious at-a-glance shape than similar code with structural characters thrown in.
