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.

Simplicity is actually a hallmark of this sense of beauty.

What culty group even exists around recursion anyway? Can you get me an invitation?
