Code readability is important because it improves maintainability, promotes collaboration, reduces errors, and leads to robust, long-lasting codebases. Well-written code should strive to be self-explanatory through clear naming, structure, and idiomatic practices, with comments used sparingly to increase understanding (i.e. adding context that is not immediately obvious from the code itself), rather than to compensate for poor design.

I equate readability of code with beautiful code which can be efficient or optimized or both.
