True. Writing beautiful code that is easy to reason about is a skill. Just like writing prose, it comes with experience. One can try multiple programming languages and still suck at it; It is not language-dependent art. I've seen horrible code in languages I know well, and I've seen beautiful code in PLs I have no idea how to write idiomatic structures in.
