As you might know, I have no academic training in computing of any kind. My training was in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

It is, therefore, often a surprise when I encounter a CS paper (often a vintage one) and realize just how beautifully it is written and what it expresses.

Second that. Happened more times than I can recall. Wagner and Fischer’s edit distance paper stands up there in the pantheon of clearly and eloquently written papers:

“The string-to-string correction problem”, 1974 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/321796.321811
