The whiskers on the Prolog and Logtalk plots would tend to confirm what PG had said in one place or another, that a language can be both more high level and less expressive, apparently using a definition of expressive related to line count. In that light I'm kind of surprised they do as well as they do in this post.
As I get more serious about Prolog I think it's kind of a shame more people aren't exposed to it (apart from apparently dreaded university classes). It's pretty impressive just how quickly one can write a parser, and for writing an "internal" DSL it rivals or exceeds Lisp (depending on one's taste).
