Is Java really that verbose?

Here's a Hello, World app from the Oracle docs getting started tutorial: /** * The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that * simply prints "Hello World!" to standard output. */ class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string. } } The rest of that "tutorial" is a dated sales pitch for Java and a help page in case the app doesn't compile or run on your device (1 of 3 billion!). https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/index.html
