I find the readability is where Java&#x27;s verbosity really hurts it. E.g. if you bring up the horribly verbose getters&#x2F;setters in Java many people will respond that you can autogenerate them - which is true as far as it goes. But you can&#x27;t &quot;autoread&quot; them, and if you have a thousand getters&#x2F;setters of which ten provide different functionality to the standard field access, that makes the code very hard to read.
