If you look at the list, you'll see that you're incorrect, as C and JavaScript are not at the top.

Seeing all the C languages and JavaScript at the bottom like this makes me wonder if it's not just that Curly brackets take a lot of tokens.



I imagine that having to write

  for (int index = 0; index < size; ++index)
instead of

  for index in 0...size
eats up a lot of tokens, especially in C where you also need this construct for iterating over arrays.
