As usual, I think it depends on the situation. Certain parts of Java's verbosity are just a net loss. However, some of those pain points have been addressed, and they're working on addressing others.

For example:

    public class Point {
        private final x;
        private final y;

        public Point(int x, int y) {
            this.x = x;
            this.y = y;
        }

        public int getX() {
            return x;
        }

        public int getY() {
            return y;
        }
    }

I don't think this level of verbosity helps readability (at least not for anyone familiar with the language). Luckily, there's Lombok (and I think a recent or upcoming Java version is adding support for record syntax):

    @lombok.Value
    public class Point {
        int x;
        int y;
    }
