Elegance is always individual in both subject and object. It is akin to humour - it is some "moisture" on the things which makes them shine. And it falls apart if you try to get a grip on it, like humour does when "explaining a joke".

That said, elegance is not in a computer language nor a program, but in the attitude of a programmer towards the task (and/or solution) at hand.

Comparing computer languanges or programs for their elegance and claiming objectivity whilst doing so is just silly.
