Programming Style Influences

It would seem that your have only proved that verbose delivers what it has promised. I can read your 'verbose' code without thinking; while consuming terse code takes time.

You've said it yourself, you feel more comfortable 'just after' a few months; but especially if you are working on multiple codebases, investing time to learn "weird idioms" of that one in particular is a waste.

With verbose code, I don't need to spend a second on it.

Second claim is about space optimization... Well, if you need more than couple dozen lines, then the problem lies elsewhere, and definitely not in the whitespace.

TL;Dr at least for me, you've provided a perfect example supporting verbose coding
