I don't know why you were downvoted. I've programmed in everything from entering hex code into a hexadecimal keypad to assembly, Forth, APL and beyond. Sure, languages can influence style. I wouldn't go as far as calling any language "ugly". There's that initial phase of exposure when one might not be comfortable with the language constructs. And yes, at that moment in time it is natural to feel that a language might be "ugly". I certainly felt that way when learning Objective-C. Once you get on the other side and you start using the language for real work things can change. I don't hate any particular language but do enjoy some more than others. Forth, APL and Lisp were a lot of fun to work with.
