It is not about saving keystrokes, it is about reducing sensory load when reading it.

Sorry, I know it may sound like I'm splitting hairs, but every single time when the argument of verbosity vs conciseness in programing languages comes around, this "keystrokes" argument is thrown and it is extremely flawed. The core belief that conciseness is only better for faster typing but that verbosity is somehow always better than conciseness for reading is just plain wrong and we should stop using it. And yes, verbosity has some advantages for reading comprehension, but so does conciseness, no side is a clear winner, it is all about the different compromises.
