VOTES--<p>MORE SERIOUSLY....CODING CAN BE ABOUT AESTHETICS. YES, JUST BECAUSE. CODE CAN LOOK GOOD AND THAT IS A VALUE.<p>BUT ALSO, AESTHETICS CAN HAVE A NON-MEANINGLESS AFFECT ON COMPREHENSION, READABILITY, CODING-PLEASURE AND PRODUCTIVITY. SO MONEY, BASICALLY.<p>PERSONALLY, I LOVE THE ++ AND -- AESTHETIC. IT&#x27;S JUST A COOL GLYPH&#x2F;DIGRAM&#x2F;IDIOM. BRING BACK THE QUIRKINESS ( OKAY, NOT TO THE PERL-LEVEL ) BUT BRING IT BACK!
