I never get this argument. With current state of IDEs, there is maybe more LOC in the end but many of those lines are written for you and if you know your way around, it is actually very fast to write Java.

It's not the time it takes to write the code I'm concerned about. With more LOC per feature there is more code to maintain, there are probably more bugs, and there is more code one has to comprehend to understand what the system does. That has a significant cost.

Imagine having a state of the art IDE and a succinct language! Something like Smalltalk.
