Honestly the writing part isn't the problem since Java has fantastic IDE integration. You can write a lot of code pretty quickly. Java is still awful but that is entirely due to how terrible it is to work with an existing large codebase.
If you've ever had to debug or extend old mainframe COBOL applications then you know that working on that sort of Java project feels exactly the same. Everything has been chopped up into a million little pieces so you are never able to step through the code in a straight line. You know you are working on a Java app when you're lost from having too many tabs open.
