> - But shorter English sentences are awesome.

You missed the author's point here. He of course prefers shorter sentences as well. He is complaining that mainstream language syntax is biased in favor of mutability since you need to use an extra keyword to make a const expression. In F# for example it is just the opposite, you have to use the keyword "mutable" in your declaration.
