So, you basically want to write in assembler, which printed is very verbose,
and it's very easy to understand each separate instruction.
What I want is the language to minimize language entities used to do a task
(from parser's perspective those would be AST nodes), and I want those tasks
to be general and high-level. This is what makes source code comprehensible,
not verbosity.

Please don't do that: You took what he said, jumped to the most extreme case, and then attributed it back to him. He never implied that he wanted to write in assembler. In fact, based on the part you didn't quote, I think he would not want to work in assembler.
