This argument does not hold water. I used to program in APL, progs were
usually very short (a complex prog had less than a few dozen lines), and could
be full of bugs.
Cheers,

Please don't compare APL with the languages aforementioned.<br>
Quote from Wikipedia about APL :<br>
"Because of its condensed nature and non-standard characters, APL
has sometimes been termed a "<a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language"
title="Write-only language">write-only language</a>", and reading
an APL program can at first feel like decoding <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphics"
title="Egyptian hieroglyphics" class="mw-redirect">Egyptian
hieroglyphics</a>. Because of the unusual <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_set" title="Character
set" class="mw-redirect">character set</a>, many programmers use
special <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_keyboard"
title="Computer keyboard" class="mw-redirect">keyboards</a> with
APL keytops for authoring APL code."<br>
<br>
My argument is about C/Gobject and Vala not about any languages.
Vala has been developed with the goal of easing Glib programming.
That's why the comparison of program length makes sense.<br>
