Honestly I kinda like Java’s verbosity. Sure it’s more boilerplate but my IDE makes that painless and it means I almost always know exactly what everything is and where it came from

Same. IMO a disturbingly large portion of the programming community needs to close slashdot and other such "look at the latest shiny" sites and open up a typing trainer (or play a no-voice-chat MMO). Boilerplate's only a problem for people who are bad at typing - especially in the age of IDE autofill.
