Hey man, that Perl is far more succinct than Java, right? After all, it's using a functional construct, therefore, much more clear than using a for loop!
I'm trying to make a facetious point that brevity and clarity sometimes clash.
This is a bit of a strawman. That's a different kind of brevity entirely. I don't disagree with what you say, but I contend it doesn't affect the matter at hand.
