The tricky side of this is languages that encourage terseness through "clever" syntax.
But that's arguing syntax instead of principle, I think generally "less code" means "fewer expressions to evaluate"

+1 to this. Code is fundamentally harder to read than write. If I use clever syntax, my plain-English comments make up the difference for characters saved :)
