Summary/Abstract: In previous works he defined the notions of intellectual aesthetic and proposed an ordinal measure of the aesthetic of function. We further this work in order to clarify the relationships between aesthetics and readability on both code and system level and to define aesthetics of code (previously we defined the aesthetics of functionality). We analyze the main drives behind the evolution of C languages, one of which is the aesthetic motive, at the expense of readability.
