Outside of J/K/APL few languages truly attempt to optimize for source size. Few people truly, deliberately optimize around source size outside those language programmers, demoscene types, and mathematicians/engineers-turned-programmers.

Add Ruby to the list. Many gems (and frameworks) advertise with how much you can pack into a single line of code, at the expense of seemingly impenetrable magic happening behind the scenes.
