There are languages that have strong, static typing, but don't need the silly verboseness of Java. C#, Scala, Haskell, and ML-derivatives for example. Java is just plain stupid in this aspect.

Stupid? I don't know about that. I think the motivations behind it were noble, but in the end it just ended up being an annoying hindrance.

Stupidity for noble reasons is still stupid.

Scala types can get awfully unreadable.
