Comment on Which programming language has the highest meaning density?

Comments

I assume you mean information density? If so programming languages basic information density is set by their amount of keywords and symbols used for parsing. But there also is implicit density caused by every abstraction - therefor a Lisp can express extremely complex programs with only a few lines of code. This may also hold true for natural languages when using phrases or metaphors.
