> Java is infamous for its verbosity. [...]

This paragraph highlights something I've been saying for ages.

Most criticism of Java needs to be directed towards Java programmers and not the language itself.

The language allows you to simply make a class. You're not required to make an interface and then make a class that implements it, and yet, Java programmers do it anyways and then criticize the language for being verbose.

Getters and Setters? You probably don't need them. Classes can have public member variables.

Java programmers seem to have the hardest time understanding YAGNI.
