What computer languages are the most succinct?
I did not understand how the form worked at the below site (see comments below), so the static page linked to shows plots for a number of computer languages with regards to speed and compactness.
If you draw a line from left to right in it, sloping, you can make out Javascript, Pascal and Fortran as the winners in the size/speed trade off, given the criteria and scaling used.
However the language that seems to have the smallest sizes for complexity performed, is Ruby. I better take a look at that.
From concise at the left to less-concise at the right, from slower at the top to faster at the bottom.
