If I find myself writing code at full typing speed, I think I'm probably 
writing too much code.

  "When you're writing working code nearly as fast as you can type and
  your misstep rate is near zero, it generally means you've achieved
  mastery of the language."

For me, that illustrates the difference in waterbed theory between the 
languages.  I've written and read a fair bit of python code.  I find 
that the smallness of the language limits me and tends to sanction 
verbosity.
