> python is very expressive, hence the code base have way less numbers of lines than in C++

This doesn't match reality. In reality, many Python projects have way more lines of code than equivalent C++ projects. Probably because of the 'expressiveness' you cite; you can't really showcase your love of coding and job security though artificial complexity without 'expressive' bells and whistles. (This is the idea that lead to languages like Go, I'm pretty sure.)

That said, C++ is plenty 'expressive' itself.
