I absolutely agree, and that is why Java is a great choice for monolithic applications. It's verbose and it's extremely flexible. The real reason to move away

  >The real reason to move away from Java is to move towards different software architectures (microservices!) This is a SpringBoot microservice: @RestController public class BasicController { @RequestMapping(value="/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET) public String get(@PathVariable("id")Integer id) { return doStuff(id); } } I'm not sure it's any more verbose than the equivalent Ruby on Rails microservice (for example).
