How many hundreds of times a day do Java programms write something
like

classname varname = new classname(args);


And this just gets worse with generic types, e.g.

GenericClass<Type1, Type2> x = new GenericClass<Type1, Type2>;


Well that does not compile.

because Java has no typedefs like C++:

typedef GenericClass<Type1, Type2>
ShortName;


Well - if you want to minimize the number of characters in the source
code, then Java is definitely not the language for you.


Yeah...and neither is C++.


It is shorter than Java (a little bit in syntax a lot in style).

But I am sure there are languages shorter than C++.


Lisp, in a good way.

Perl, in a bad way.


APL, in an ugly way.
