Disclosure: I'm not a software developer and I don't really have an opinion on this. I'm just curious what others think. 💡

Have you ever come across or created any code that you felt was poetic?

I've heard folks describe code as being written elegantly. I've also heard folks talk about leaving good guidance via comments in their code. But, I'm curious if anybody has seen anybody take these elements and try to make something creative or artistic out of it — not what the code creates, but the code itself.

What do you think? Can code be poetic or artistic in a writerly sense? Do you have any examples of code like this that you'd like to share?
