The complete opposite of that is Ithkuil. It's very complex and expressive. Granted, it's hard to master, but when you do, you can convey the exact meaning you want, and do it leanly. You don't need long sentences in Ithkuil.
To me, Ithkuil instantly feels like SQL. And I love SQL. I do my backend logic there, and every 400 JS lines I have I can replace with 20 lines of SQL.

@ElectroArchiver no, I don’t. Ithkuil for me at this time of my life is very sensitive, I love it, and I don’t want to listen to the criticism towards it.

@electrineer more like misc vs cisc, or Turing tarpits
There is a constructed language called Tokipona. It was made to be the easiest language, and it only contains like 137 words or so.
This language is a perfect demonstration of “expressivity”. Tokipona is not very expressive. Before you know it, your sentence is obscenely long, and you didn't even convey the full meaning of what you wanted to say.
It's also the case with “easy” programming languages and frameworks. Code quantities rise exponentially, and the more code you have, the more bugs there are. There is no magic. And then you have to debug it. Not so easy, huh?
