With good tooling, it might be possible to have autocomplete once you write the b of begin or the l of loop, which would reduce the typing verbosity.

Like autocompletion, also syntax coloring becomes more important with verbose programming languages, to help distinguish the relevant text between the large areas occupied by keywords.
