That's Scala, not Java.

And this doesn't even begin to cover everything I dislike about Java.

Fine sir, I believe you have missed the point.

Disagree. There's 'boilerplate' introduced by the framework/pattern, which may be necessitated when you throw out default assumptions to scale (which I, wooster, the OP, and yourself probably all agree are not so cumbersome after all). Then there's boilerplate introduced by the language. That's where wooster diverges, and I agree.
