It's not entirely subjective. For example a language that is inconsistent in it's use of syntax could fairly be described as "objectively ugly".
- FpUser 4y agoYou just uglified nearly every language.
- andybak 4y agoOk. Maybe I should have qualified the example a little more. My point is - I don't buy that "language aesthetics are entirely subjective".
- FpUser 4y agoIf they are "objective" then people would not be creating "ugly" languages. Fact that they do shows that unless they are making brainfuck for purpose they believe their creations are not ugly. After that it only comes down to how many percent believe that language XYZ is a "beauty".
