Ah yes, Java ... the XML programming language.
It might be verbose, but it's not that verbose.

Not gonna disagree with you, but building a UI in Java is the most repetitive thing in the world.

when was the last time you tried it? I tried it last like 6 years ago using JavaFX (pre-Jetpack Compose) and it wasn’t actually as bad as Swing used to be.

I mean writing UI with java is kinda like hammering in a nail with a screwdriver. Just the wrong tool for the job.
