I like academic papers precisely because of the lack of language-specific details muddying my interpretation of what's going on. I was reading a paper recently describing a SAT-like search problem and the algorithm was described in graph theoretic terms. Very simple, powerful explanation of a very practical algorithm. Implementation was much easier with a graph and rigorous justification than subjectively beautiful source code.
