No way, Go is beautiful based on this 1 metric: It always looked the same regardless who wrote it.

It makes PR review job so much easier, and to me, that's beautiful.

You're wasting your experts' time if they cannot write (or reread) clearer, more concise code than your beginners.

This is Go's biggest anti-feature to me. I can't stand that all code in Go is so similar.

Ease of reading is a practical feature not a beautiful one. If you think practicality is beautiful well great.
