I have had to read a lot of code in various languages and the beauty
of the code can vary.
After a while working with a big application written by several people
you begin to recognize who wrote what just by noticing the coding
style.

It does not matter if it is C, VB, APL or J
Badly written code and especially buggy and lapped up code more or
less always begins to look ugly.
I am seldom impressed by long onliners because they are often cramped
and difficult to understand.
On the other hand some oneliners are pure gems.
