in thread Comparing languages

I wonder how one would score or rate artistic techniques. One would presumably debate the usefulness, speed, and quality of:
  • oil paints
  • spray can
  • crayons
  • pens
  • throwing food at a wall and so forth

I guess art comes in many forms and perhaps we're all forgetting that, in many ways, programming is an art?

    spray can would score high for efficiency.

    throwing food at a wall would score low for maintainability :)
