Concatenative languages like Factor and Forth are very token-efficient in theory. Theoretically optimal for raw lexical density. No parentheses, no commas, no argument delimiters, just whitespace-separated words, but stack shuffling can add overhead for complex data flow, unless you use "locals" in Factor, for example.

C is surprisingly efficient as well. Minimal keywords, terse syntax, single-character operators. Not much boilerplate, and the core logic is dense.

I think the worst languages are Java, C#, and Rust (lifetime annotations, verbose generics).

In my opinion, C or Go for imperative code, Factor / Forth if the model knows them well.

I understand your logic but I found LLM's to be quite strong at C#. It makes little mistakes and the mistakes seem related to the complexity of what I'm doing, not the language itself.
