"It is a scientific fact that, statistically, bug density does not change with programming language. So, a denser language means fewer bugs."<p>I don't agree based on my experience coding APL which is a very dense language. Maybe you get fewer coding bugs with a denser langugage but you encounter other much worse problems. Code you can't understand. Code that doesn't match the requirements. Code you have to rewrite if you ever want to change it. I prefer verbose code.
