Is Java really that fun? I really hate boilerplate languages.
"Fun" is in the eye of the beholder.
If OP is having fun with Java, that's awesome.
Java's not my favourite language either, but the only "nice" language on his list is C# and particularly if he was using it in a .NET context then it's got a steep learning curve:
Working with closures and run loops is a pretty rough starting point compared to other languages where you start with just
print "Hello World"
. Those concepts are relatively simple for someone experienced but a beginner can easily hit a brick wall they can't climb over.
