The above made me make this little scale based on what
little I know about some programming languages I've used.
This is my scale of verbosity of a computer language.
On the left is the least verbose, and on the right is
the most verbose. Feel free to edit and add/adjust as
you feel. ofcourse this is all subjective and for fun.

I think too verbose is not good. It makes it hard to
understand the algorithm. Also, too cryptic is not
good. There is a sweet spot in the middle somewhere.
