VOTES--

MORE SERIOUSLY....CODING CAN BE ABOUT AESTHETICS. YES, JUST BECAUSE. CODE CAN LOOK GOOD AND THAT IS A VALUE.

BUT ALSO, AESTHETICS CAN HAVE A NON-MEANINGLESS AFFECT ON COMPREHENSION, READABILITY, CODING-PLEASURE AND PRODUCTIVITY. SO MONEY, BASICALLY.

PERSONALLY, I LOVE THE ++ AND -- AESTHETIC. IT'S JUST A COOL GLYPH/DIGRAM/IDIOM. BRING BACK THE QUIRKINESS ( OKAY, NOT TO THE PERL-LEVEL ) BUT BRING IT BACK!
