I don't think "volubility" means what you think it means. The usual meaning of "voluble" is "talkative" (gesprächig if your username is accurate). I'm not quite sure what you're going for here or in an earlier comment, but suspect it's something more like "ergonomic", i.e. the language being easy/natural to write and not getting in your way.

> I don't think "volubility"

Indeed I got it wrong bc I translated from spanish and it seems to be a false friend. The word I meant is "malleable".
