how would you prefer he have phrased it? The iteration has ended in joy for him. Should he not express his joy? Sure, he could express in a technically-phrased way why it causes him joy (maybe tighter iteration loops, maybe easier generation of value, etc. etc.) but then he'd have to prove those things, wouldn't he?
It's hard enough to just get your opinions out there without also having to prove each one as if you were declaring an ultimate statement of fact.

The other thing is that while "delightful" might be as such to him, I have personally found that my opinions simply do not align with people who speak like this. Using that sort of vocabulary is likely to get you written off as a moron among some folks Technical writing should be simple and plain. And yes I am judging entirely by the title.
