I find it fascinating that Python seems to be the only language which created a word to describe idiomatic code: pythonic.

Having learned Python as a first programming language I always try to gain an idiomatic understanding of the language which allows myself to think in Python.

Other languages call such code... idiomatic :-)

Rubyish, perlesque, lispy are all words I've come across.
