In my humble opinion, the importance of "Shortness of script" is overrated.

Ease of reading and maintaining the code is far more important.
Programmers spend most of their time debugging and modifying/extending 
existing code, not in writing the first draft of code.

Object Pascal excels in this area.  That's why I like pascal much more 
than C.
