Poor syntax and poor semantics. What is the missing part that makes it beautiful?

  It is very widely deployed and will work on almost all client devices.

    That dosen't really say much about the language itself though, which I think was what was being called 'beautiful' (as opposed the ecosystem). Besides, couldn't the same argument be made about C? Sure I know a lot of people 'like' C, but I don't think I've ever heard of it being referred to as 'beautiful'...

      C's beauty is in its simplicity.

      C isn't really beautiful anymore but to somebody used to program in assembly it properly is beautiful.

  Nice expressivity, mostly functional, fun to use, etc.

    It has closures, I don't really know if it has anything else in common with a functional language...
