There is an interesting paper by Paul Graham. He has a hypothesis, that
a programmer can write about the same number of tokens in a unit of
time, no matter what language he is writing them in (or little matter).

Now that would mean, that programming is more efficient in a higher
language. The higher here means it can do more work with one statement.
