Maybe on a purely syntactical level, but culturally, Java seems to embrace verbosity.

You don't see C++ programmers making thousand-line XML-based build files, or creating FactorySingletonFactoryVisitors.

Actually, yes you do. The original GoF was written with C++ in mind. Plenty of enterprise C++ code embraces heavy use of design patterns.
