Java is certainly more verbose, but I feel that nothing is free and being more concise comes with some costs. For some applications the trade off is certainly worth it! I use python and Django for personal projects to move quickly. But if I need to build something that will be rock solid I need to move more slowly and carefully, and Java works well for that.

Rock solid with features like null references, AbstractFactoryFactories, extremely over-engineered class and inheritance architectures, object fetishism, etc. I know what you mean, but Java and rock solid are not something I would mention together.
