Languages can hold a "developed" status through two different approaches: curating and producing.

Languages like English and Japanese are good examples of "producing", they make so much cultural content using their language, it gets a life of its own, generating vocabulary, concepts, expressions, etc. English has the bonus of being widespread, which undermines its grammar but at the same time promotes its density.

On the other hand you have languages like Icelandic and French, where people are huge grammar nazis and being really strict with your writing is seen as sophisticated. Such languages may not have the same cultural impact (French used to), but the language has a lot of meta-analysis which provides a safe ecosystem for it to develop a strong, coherent form.

Portuguese drinks a bit from the whole grammar nazi thing from France, but in the last few decades we're just being overwhelmed by illiterate niggers turning our language into some stupid creole which serves for communication and nothing else.

This.
How would you rate slavic and germanic languages from this point of view.
In Russia it is commnon thing that russian language is very good in expressing emotions and impressions in literature due to our huge amount of suffixes and prefixes and free structure and order of words in a sentence.

Unfortunately I don't know much about Slavic languages and German, only that Russian still manages to be relevant by being sort of the local lingua franca.

When I say "curating", I refer to cultures that really push the "writing correctly" approach. French takes their Linguistic Academy seriously, and there are several laws demanding content spoken in French to fill national quotas of culture being circulated.
Iceland has a strict control on grammar and vocabulary, looking to make new words 100% in Icelandic. There are even some more radicalized (although not official) movements that seek to do away with ALL loanwords from English, returning the language to its roots. I guess that's sorta impossible, but preserving what is still Icelandic and creating new terms from there shouldn't be a problem.
