I never understood anyone who used such strong language like "beauty" when talking about something mundane like recursion. I suspect it's just in-group language like how a cult understands the meaning of their own words, while to outsiders it would appear nonsensical. I have seen other groups appropriate the word "beauty" too, like people who chronically overeat.

Nope, it just has its own beauty. The material blew me away in school.
What culty group even exists around recursion anyway? Can you get me an invitation?

Simplicity is actually a hallmark of this sense of beauty.
