Not sure. I mean yes you can abuse some languages and fit an entire program on 1 line (see any golf project). But I can generally grok a 100 line scala program in the same time as a 100 line Java program, and the scala program is usually about twice as dense. (So I am groking scala twice as fast).

I generally find this to be true for myself, too. Although I would add the qualifier that I find Java to be an exceptionally wordy language, for lack of a better term. It seems to take a lot of talk to do a little in Java even compared to other object oriented languages.
