This isn't about aesthetics, it's about grammar. Just as in written human languages, computer languages have grammar that make things easier to read and understand. How well that grammar is done depends on the language. My point is that if aesthetics is one of the reasons you choose a language, you really don't understand software development or the simple idea of "use the right tool for the right job."
