C++ code as written can be succint but the spec to describe what the code does can be really verbose.

So - verbose in terms of the spec which describes what the code actually does and mental chatter I have to do with myself when writing it "should I return a ref or a smart_ptr or a value or should I use move semantics..." whereas in F# it's just a ref and garbage collector will deal with it. So I can skip the mental chatter part.
