Can you tell when code is “beautiful”?

That is an artful quality, not an engineering one, even if the elegance leads to superior engineering.

As an example of beauty that is NOT engineered well, see the quintessential example of quicksort implemented in Haskell. Gorgeously simple, but not performant.
