Static typing is nice in principle, but the verbosity of Java's type system makes programming in Java feel like running in wet cement.

So then programming in Java with a powerful IDE is like running in wet cement with bionic stilts? I think this is actually an apt analogy, especially for when things don't work quite right or when things get a bit laggy.
