So, HN's hate-child PHP is funnier, more beautiful, less ugly and less confusing than sexy JavaScript. Although Python rules them all.
To be fair, PHP has a well-known problem of a lot of people not being able to properly judge the quality of the code they write ;) [1] [1] Of course I don't mean you, my dear PHP writing comment reader.
Some results normalized by overall language popularity. Specifically, the entry in row R and column C is 1000 * (hits for C in language R) / (hits for "the" in language R) or "---" if either the numerator or denominator was small enough not to make the top-10 list on github. All the scraping was done by hand and the numbers rounded to a limited number of places in the process, so there may very well be mistakes. [EDI…
Pretty interesting/amusing to see the language breakdown of various words (with big grains of salt): https://github.com/search?q=beautiful&type=Code https://github.com/search?q=ugly&type=Code https://github.com/search?q=lol&type=Code https://github.com/search?q=wtf&type=Code

In my experience “ugly hack” means any technical debt that spans lines of code, as opposed to components of a system. (Edited for clarity.)

I should have gone for the proper solution and properly define it. You see now that it breaks down when the interpretation changes.
