The word that covers all those concepts is "elegance". Elegant code is small, simple, fast, efficient, optimal, safe, pure. Some quick and dirty hacks can have their own elegance that must be understood to be appreciated (outside the norm). IMHO.
I lot of my code here was actually composed inside the mobileread post edit boxes, which is why it is formatted the way it is (to minimize scrolling).
