I have this issue with: Java, Kotlin, Erlang, and Elixir, but especially Java and Kotlin.

I've seen the opposite with Python where there's so much junk in a single file it's also impossible to navigate.

Yeah, I do not use Python, nor do I have to read much Python code, but it may be difficult to follow, too (OOP in general), just like PHP with lots of classes but I do not mind 5000 LOC PHP code that is fully OOP at least, I probably would if they were in their separate files.
