Java boilerplate is way worse AND hidden behind annotations and so many level of abstractions!

  That's mostly a facet of frameworks like Spring, not something inherent to Java itself.

    There’s a strong culture in the Java community which actively encourages this style of programming. I agree - I don’t think it’s an inherent part of the Java programming language. At least not any more - recent versions of Java have a lot of nice features! But you still see a lot of this overly abstracted, “enterprise” Java code in the wild all over the place. I find it easier to just specialise in other languages.
