Up to a point, I guess? There must be a point of diminishing returns based on the expressiveness of the language

I mean, a language that has 8 different ways to declare + initialise composite variables needs to have a much larger training corpus than a language that has only 2 or 3 different ways.

The more expressive a language, the more different suitable patterns would be required, which results in a larger corpus being needed.
