Java is a terrible exemplar for a statically typed language. It's incredibly verbose, and is often held up as a bad example for how to do typing. More modern languages manage have type systems which are more effective at identifying issues at compile time while also being more flexible in terms of the design patterns they allow.

You might have also noticed that Go is statically typed, and it's actually less lines of code than Python (maybe a lot less if trailing braces are counted in that LOC number).
