Clojure code is more dense, but once you stop trying to read as many LOC per minute as you would in other languages you are fine. Also the increased use of pure functions and immutable datastructures makes it easier to reason about code.

I have always heard that Haskell has fewer LOC than something like C++. I was quite skeptical when someone told me, that if we count words instead, they are pretty comparable, but based on a few projects, it is absolutely true. I haven’t tested it regarding Clojure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that would be the case here as well (maybe somewhat less due to not having typenames?)
