Don't despise saving lines of code. There's a well-known law the name of
which I've forgotten that defect rates per KLOC are rougly constant across
languages. Accordingly, what you're really doing when you enable your language
to do more in fewer LOC is lowering your defect load.
Thart's not really how I think of it, though. I think in terms of reducing
eyeball friction. Always a virtue when you're programming at scale.
These might be the same issue, actually.
