Pretty interesting/amusing to see the language breakdown of various words (with big grains of salt):

https://github.com/search?q=beautiful&type=Code

https://github.com/search?q=ugly&type=Code

https://github.com/search?q=lol&type=Code

https://github.com/search?q=wtf&type=Code

There's plenty of work for C devs!

If you actually look at the details, these terms aren't used in the same context as we might imagine. If there was a way to filter out useless projects, this would get interesting.

As you said, big grains of salt... It would be probably more helpful if they were normalized by the percentage any particular language is used overall on Github.

So, HN's hate-child PHP is funnier, more beautiful, less ugly and less confusing than sexy JavaScript. Although Python rules them all.

To be fair, PHP has a well-known problem of a lot of people not being able to properly judge the quality of the code they write ;) [1]

[1] Of course I don't mean you, my dear PHP writing comment reader.

And no other widely used language has that problem ;)

Python seems to get a leg-up on the beauty stakes thanks to the popularity of the BeautifulSoup library :)
