I'd agree, but on the JVM there are plenty of statically-typed languages with clean interop that permit more concise expressions than Java, so I don't see conciseness alone as a reason to go to a dynamic JVM language. (That said, Java is getting better at this over time, though its still, to me, a pretty big negative for Java.)
