Include a list of contemporary creative coders?
The sentence "the goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional" is debatable. Sometimes there is no goal, but a process instead, or an approach. Sometimes we want something both functional and expressive. I think that sentence does not convey the essence of Creative Coding precisely. We could use the first paragraph from https://montana-media-arts.github.io/creative-coding-1/modules/week-1/whatis/
Try find descriptions of the approach: sometimes there is no goal but it's an exploration, happy accidents are welcome, which sets it apart from computer science (efficiency, correctness). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miadoh (talk • contribs) 09:39, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Reference: "Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art" by Ira Greenberg. "Creative Coding is an approach to programming that integrates both analytical and creative processes." Ira mentions the important role of happy accidents in the creative coding process. https://books.google.de/books?id=TKgfVpWPb0sC&pg=PR20&dq=%22Creative+coding%22&lr=&hl=de&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q=%22Creative%20coding%22&f=false
