In part it's the price you pay for static typing (somewhere all those 
type names have to appear).  Tools are good enough these days to offload 
you from most of the hand typing via completion.  If you have not yet 
used a modern IDE yet you should really try Eclipse or NetBeans both of 
which are free of charge.

If you look for a language on the JVM with less overhead maybe Scala is 
for you.  Some people do find it too compact though.

Kind regards
