These languages are from a different branch of the computer science language tree. The verbs are different. The same verbs usually work similarly for all data types. Each of those symbols (verbs) are jam-packed with meaning, and most looping is implicit or very natural, and overall code constructions are very terse. It's like reading a nice short poem rather than a 700 page book. It can go too far, of course; there is some middle ground to be found. If you have time, reading into the language a little more deeply may be illuminating, because it changes the way you think about the very nature of the task at hand.
