Python is a lot more expressive than other languages and has a very terse syntax, and thus requires LLM to output much fewer tokens to achieve the same job compared to other languages.
Adding a few more tests to ensure data conformity on top of what you have to do anyway with a statically typed language still results in fewer tokens overall.
Checking some examples at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tour, I'd say it's quite similar in verbosity — eg. no need to declare a module in Python since the code already lives in a file that is the module (plus one less indentation level for module level functions); inline function declaration and calling is thereabouts with F# slightly more terse (let vs lambda + spaces vs parenthesis); if-then more verbose in F# (no then in Python, just "if x:"); F# does not seem to need "return"...
In many cases you can avoid intermediate varibles: inline ifs, list comprehensions, lambdas, etc... Constructor arguments are a good point, but this is mostly about idiomatic use instead of language itself: you can simply do
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.args = kwargs
I'll give you one on the ceremony around concurrency, though! I have different ideas of how it should have been done to shift the cost to the language runtime instead of the developer, but alas... :)
