I see language verbosity an advantage when reading foreign code for maintenance.

Much better than deciphering some hieroglyphs.

That's a strawman. Concise code != hieroglyphs.

In fact, if you need hieroglyphs to keep your code concise that's a deficiency of the language. This is why we want expressive languages in the first place.
