I really like your post. I am a programmer myself and I always thought of programming as being to some degree an artform. I think that not only the process but also the result is sometimes very similiar to art. Take a look at fractals for example. In that region we can create incredible and perfect things no painter ever could:

We can even compete with music:

(That's just a fourier transform of the image seen above by the way.)
But it probably requires a lot of education, engineering, computational skills often to understand a program.
Those skills are especially required when reading code of other persons. Everyone has their own sort of syntax which is different from most other people's syntax. That makes it sometimes very difficult to read. Also most people(including myself) rarely use comments(unless participating in a bigger project).
I would definitely say that science(especially physics) and maths are to some degree arts. Solving complex equations can be very beautiful.
I noticed that you are around for two years now and didn't get much attention, although your posts(at least this one) look pretty good.
That's why I decided to support you with a small steem bounty of as much as I could scrape of my balance(0.5 STEEM) and also resteemed your post so you may hopefully get the attention you deserve.
I would like to see you posting of some of the programs you wrote(your github seems to contain quite a few repositories).
