I really really hate Java, in parts due to the verbosity, and find Rust very pleasant to write. I'm not sure I would call Rust verbose at all, although you can look at code that gets verbose due to the expressiveness of the language and the desire for people to over engineer things (versus a language like Golang that remains very readable at all time). But when I write my own code, I tend to avoid the complexity and write pretty clear (I would like to think) Rust code. There's definitely a learning curve (I think everyone agrees with that one), which might be what you're feeling now, but that quickly goes away once you pick up some speed. I would say keep on learning Rust and the language will grow on you.
