Yes you are right, it probably depends on the domain. But still, I have a feeling that there are some languages which are more concise than others generally because of reasons which are very generic: For example imperative languages with local variables contain a lot of unnecessary information, because we always have to reference the local variables we use, while in stack based languages the arguments don't have to be referenced, because they are implicit. In fact, in an extremely concise language there should be only a very few ways to express a program at a certain size. In not so concise languages you can write the same program in lot of ways ('permutations') (having the same size).
