LLVM Coding Standards

I find the LLVM C++ source code readable and sometimes even elegant for being C++ (it's very far from the C-style hairy code of DMD, despite sometimes DMD is a little more efficient during compilation). So I think they are doing a good job.

If the source code of an open source project isn't well readable, new people will have less desire to work on the code to add features, remove bugs, etc. CPython developers keep the C source code very simple and very readable even if sometimes this forces to use a bit less efficient code.
