I would disagree. The verbosity comes from trying to look like
traditional languages. There's really only 2 or 3 operations in a purely
OO language: assignment, message dispatch, primitive invocation, stuff
like that. Smalltalk, Python, CLOS, none of these are what I'd call
verbose. Smalltalk doesn't even have syntax for loops, conditionals,
etc. It's when you start moving into areas that aren't OO that you start
seeing a lot of verbosity, I think.
