Right, I agree with these descriptions of python vs "the poetry 
languages". I'm not sure whether I'd consider python particularly terse, 
though, but I don't know enough about it yet. (I've read a couple of 
programs but never started a project of my own in it, mainly because I 
love poetry. I can see the appeal of a "prose language", though.)
