There have been a few studies showing that bugs-per-line-of-code is pretty consistent from language to language. So, if you can reduce the number of lines needed, you reduce the number of bugs.
There are also surely diminishing returns
In rust though, that 30 line python script probably takes 45 lines to write now. But those 15 lines aren't wasted or because of longer logic, rather those lines are used to convey type information
its not "more lines = more bugs" as it is "most languages don't put more lines to good use"
Note I could have used f-strings for both, I just don't like how they are rendered in my editor.
E.g. more cells means more cancer per 100k cells, right? Incorrect. Different species have different rates of cancer.
