 		 #160776 - Concise?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
IMHO, the "best" programming language is ASM. It lets you be precise and concise

How are you defining "concise" here?

I can see that it would be "concise" in the sense that the language does not force any baggage whatsoever onto you;

But it is "verbose" in the extreme in the sense that you have to spell out every operation in the minutest detail.
