I think the verbosity of Java is all in your head

I prefer verbose code over unknown defaults. If I need to comeback and read that code again, I'll know exactly what is going on at first glance.
I've never understood the desire to type less. Yes, there's a certain amount of tedium involved. This is life. This is why it is "work". Take away the tedious elements and you'll find problems in other areas. Everything is a tradeoff. I gladly accept the comfort of verbosity over unknown ambiguity.
Actual programming is the last mile of my workflow. Why would I want to be lazy there, or cut corners? The finish line is already within sight. Identifying a problem and coming up with a solution is the bigger task.
