Well, but it is relevant to the outcome.

In C++ I find that the more are strive to write semantically 
beautiful code, the less visually beautiful it becomes.

My modern C++ code is littered with ```[[nodiscard]]``` and other 
attributes.

If a language that is equally capable allows me to write code 
that is both semantically beautiful and visually beautiful then 
that would offset some of the disadvantages with using a small 
language. I think many C++ programmers feel that way.

Big opportunity that is up for grabs there.
