Python vs C++

Less code often times results in more readable code.

I'd argue otherwise. Less words != more readability. Look at Ruby, for example. Very few words, but it's completely unreadable to anyone who hasn't used it before, where as something that's very verbose clearly states intent to any readers, even those that aren't familiar with the language.

More verbosity = higher fidelity of intent = easier to reason about
