> I can launch a smart contract with 20 lines of code in Ethereum.

Have you done this before? I tried to learn Ethereum (as an average developer) but it was over my head.

as far as the language goes - that is a very verbose "hello world".

does the level of verbosity decrease as you get into more advanced applications?

Not really, but dApps aren't supposed to have huge source codes. Much more important is having efficient and correct code, because each instruction your contract runs has a cost. If that really annoys you, there are other languages that can be used to build dApps, and more certainly to come.
