I strongly agree with sentiment presented here. In fact, I actually coined a code metric for this - Jones Complexity, which is the mean operations-per-line (My thesis is that "good" code has a Jones Complexity of less than 8.) For some reason, it looks like code density of this type wasn't ever really considered before. I value readability and maintainability of code even more than I value efficiency and speed (in most cases.) flake8 extension PoC: https://github.com/Miserlou/JonesComplexity https://github.com/Miserlou/JonesComplexity
