Expressiveness can be good–but at a conceptual cost, because you must now understand how those fewer lines of code do the same thing as a program in another language that isn't as expressive.

I'm glad it's a big win for you! But in the main, I think, it's a tradeoff. Expressiveness has a cost; simplicity has a cost.

Personally, I think it's best not to get too attached to specific concepts or languages, because times change, and needs change. If you're a good programmer, you can learn any language and any concept you need to.
