Pointless typing and verbose code has nothing to do with writing code - it's all about code being readable.

Java type declarations can be 20+ characers - just scanning through the code and having to skip all that junk makes my eyes more tired reading through. Types are implicitly deducible when you know the codebase 90% of the time (and should be added when they are not), and if you don't know the context you will be slow no matter what.
