You can safely assume, that any definition of "ugly" would boil
down to severely impact comprehensibility for anyone but the
original author.

Had the original author instead had the freedom and decided to
use ${someOtherLanguage}, then you likely wouldn't be given the
job to maintain/sanitize that code, but maybe instead to rewrite
that code from scratch in Java.
