What languages are we talking about here? I mean, we use Go, but I would definitely consider it a C analogue. It is also very tedious, and all the measures we have for managing that tedium are code generators. (Though in Go world, culturally, these are build time rather than IDE based tools).

C++, Haskell, OCaml, even Rust.

As we used to say, "you can code FORTRAN in any language", and code in those languages can be as unpleasant as anywhere. But they don't have to be.
