To me, saying it’s about expressiveness but not brevity sounds similar to e.g. “we are in compliance with green policies of EU, but we are not making effort to save nature.”
Well, you might not consciously intend to save nature, but those who gave you presentation about green legislation had that intent, but used fancy words so it sounds cooler. Well, saving nature is at least one of major factors, other’s being someone profiting from it, other political implications etc... I might be completely wrong here, some simple and clear emphasis of how they are unrelated is welcome. > On 18 Jul 2023, at 18:11, Dom Grigonis <[email protected]> wrote: > > To me, they are in the inverse relationship. > > Terseness ~ 1 / expressiveness. > > Maybe I am not getting something. > > But surely if list comprehension took 5 lines to write, it wouldn’t be > justifiable?
