When I first started learning Clojure I was surprised at how concise it actually is. I was so used to scanning imperative code in huge jumps, that the conciseness caught me completely off guard and I would scan functions without even taking it in. Every.Single.Word matters in Clojure, there is literally zero boilerplate. So I agree that counting nodes is actually not a bad way to measure how much the code base grows over time.
