Note that in fifth place -- ahead of Coffeescript, Clojure, Python, etc., etc., -- is eC, a that's basically C plus a few OO features and a GUI library. It has, for instance, no automatic memory management (besides some rather primitive refcounting); neither dynamic typing nor type inference; no nice literal syntax for collection types; in short, whatever its merits it is not an outstandingly expressive language. There is surely some correlation between short commits and expressiveness, but they're far enough apart that I think the title is very misleading.
