I guess verbose languages give folks a sense of productivity - "I'm writing a lot of code, so I must be getting a lot of work done, right?" I remember a friend telling me about his dismay when learning about the definition of 'work' in physics. I forget the formula he used but it's a measure of how much is accomplished and not the effort expended to accomplish it. If you bring effort into the equations, you're measuring efficiency.
