It cannot. The syntax bloat forces structural cleanliness. A lower level problem is addressed with a higher level fix. It would be better of course to not have bloated syntax, but not at the cost of better program logic.

As for tedium: Java programmers rely heavily on IDEs to "write" most of the boilerplate for them. The IDE fills in tokens automatically, and hides them visually with +/- boxes to the side.
