I haven’t written more than a couple lines of Java in probably the last ten years(I did maintain a small Swing app for a while before that) but to me a lot of what he calls syntactic noise I call clarity. I would call having and using multiple syntax’s to do the same thing is nothing more than noise that hampers long term maintainability. Many, maybe most large teams maintaining large code bases end up telling their static analyzers to disallow this sort of thing for this exact reason. Many ways to do something is easier to write, a single way to do something is easier for future you to read.
