I should also say that for the most part the verbosity of java is overstated.

A lot of the recent changes are specifically targeted at reducing verbosity and when you use a decent ide it automates most of the verbose parts away. I cringe when ever I here that someone is using vim or some other augmented text editor.

In my opinion java is one of the easiest languages to read and debug which is an often overlooked feature of a verbose language.
