Generating a Java program with 90% less code

From a sample size of one - My Python and Go code tend to be fewer lines per file compared to Java, for projects that are similar in complexity. This is not about the terseness/dense nature of the language, but the sheer simplicity in other languages to decouple file structure from class structure (at least within a given directory)

What about Java do you think adds lines in regards to file structure?

I must also admit I woild rather ten lines of code and be clear and certain, so being verbose doesn't bother me much.

With respect to verbosity: Certain, yes. Clear, no. Boilerplate is a thing.
