readability - How to determine if a programming language is verbose or terse? - Programmers Stack Exchange: "Verbose means lots of symbols. Terse means fewer symbols.
This has nothing to do with ease of reading or ease of understanding.
Some folks find verbose COBOL easy to read, other find it confusing because so many symbols are required to do so little.
Some folks find terse I/J/K and APL easy to read because the program is very short. Others find it hard to read because the symbols are obscure.
Terse/Verbose has no relationship with easy to read or easy to understand."
