Do you mean something other than "terse" here? Or are you perhaps thinking of a different language? I cannot possibly imagine that adjective being used to describe COBOL. It is the #1 textbook example of a verbose language--the opposite of terse.
What I mean is that it is an attempt to make a high level domain specific language, but is not my modern standards
